Former Texas Ranger Arlo Baines knows all about pain: how to bear it,
how to avenge it, and how to inflict it.
Still mourning the murders of his wife and children, former Texas Ranger
Arlo Baines now works security at a bazaar in Dallas. Grief-stricken,
he's invested his heart and hope in the welfare of Miguel--a street kid
who's become his surrogate son. But the wounds of a brutal past are hard
to heal, especially when a new case threatens to rip them open all over
again.
Approached by a colleague now working for the DEA to investigate the
seemingly random murders of prominent Latino businessmen, Arlo works to
expose the common link: an ultraviolent drug cartel pushing into
northern Texas. As the vicious power struggle between the gangs turns
the streets of Dallas into a war zone, Arlo's investigation threatens
everything he loves.
When grief, anger, and secrets stretch the bonds of loyalty to their
breaking point, Arlo can trust no one--but must risk everything to
protect what remains.
