Description: Jess is back on the job of hunting down wanted men when he realizes that he is being followed by someone or something evil. Brutal murders begin to happen wherever he goes and the murders remind him of the way that Martin Creed, also known as The Ghost, murdered young women torturing them slowly.

When he finds a custom-loaded fifty-caliber cartridge, loaded exactly like the ones Martin Creed used, he gets nervous and suspicious, especially when he sees the letter M etched on the cartridge. Even with the knowledge that he had already killed Martin Creed and buried him in an unmarked grave, he finds himself back in Roosevelt, Texas, to dig up the unmarked grave of Martin Creed. He gets the shock of a lifetime when the pine box is unearthed and opened and he sees that the body of Martin Creed is missing and all that remains is a single fifty-caliber cartridge with the letter M etched on it.

The cat and mouse game between Jess and whoever or whatever is following him continues with more women being murdered. He starts to believe that Martin Creed really crawled out from the grave to exact his revenge on Jess for taking all his fame and glory away from him. Jess needs to end the game once and for all, but he wonders if he'll end up finally taking a seat in hell right next to Martin Creed before the game is over.
