The bushwhack killing of a deputy sheriff in Lincoln County and the
brutal murder of the deputy's wife in Santa Fe County bring Police Chief
Kevin Kerney and his Mescalero Apache son, Sergeant Clayton Istee, back
together. The double homicide investigation is soon linked to a major
drug trafficking scheme and the cold-blooded slaughter of two women in
Albuquerque.
Due to retire at the end of the month, Kerney calls upon Clayton to find
the slain officer's son, discover what triggered the killings, and give
him the ammunition he needs to bring a murderer to justice.
