Santa Fe police chief Kevin Kerney is on the hunt for a deranged
killer in this "taut and tidy thriller"(San Diego Union-Tribune) from
the New York Times bestselling author of Residue**.**
Living in London while his wife serves as a military attaché at the
American Embassy, recently retired Santa Fe police chief Kevin Kerney
gets an early morning phone call that changes everything and sends him
hurrying home to his New Mexico ranch. Riley Burke, his partner in a
horse-training enterprise, has been mowed down on Kerney's doorstep by
an escaped prisoner cutting a murderous swath through New Mexico.
As the killings mount, Kerney teams up with his half-Apache son,
Lieutenant Clayton Istee of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department, to
hunt for a psychotic murderer with a growing appetite for blood--who has
no intention of being taken alive.
