It's been two years since an on-the-job shooting forced ex-Santa Fe
chief of detectives Kevin Kerney to retire. He is drawn back into action
when Terry Yazzi, his former partner and the man responsible for his
wounds, pleads for Kerney's help. Yazzi's son, a soldier, has
disappeared in the barren desert surrounding the White Sands Missile
Range.
Kerney's investigation resurrects the long-forgotten thrill of the
hunt--and other emotions surface after meeting the tough-but-beautiful
Capt. Sara Brannon, the Army's investigating officer. Together, they
uncover a crime far greater than an AWOL soldier: a conspiracy of death
that snakes from the secretive world of military operations, to the
cutthroat alleys of a Mexican border town, leading them to a final,
shocking revelation that may cost them both their lives.
Tularosa is the first book in McGarrity's "Kevin Kerney" crime series.
