Lawman turned best-selling author Michael McGarrity presents this thrilling Kevin Kerney novel—packed with gritty action—that “series fans will relish” (Publishers Weekly). Called out of retirement, Kerney must take up the hunt for a psychotic killer who’s been blazing a path of carnage from Texas to Colorado. Fortunately he’ll have help from his half-Indian son, Sgt. Clayton Istee.

McGarrity, Connelly, and Sandford are my favorite mystery writers. McGarrity has stopped writing mysteries, I think this was his last. The bad guy is especially bad in this one, but it is an excellent story.

good one!

I love all of Michael's books. I have driven these roads so many times. The description of the land, building s and culture is spot on..

Always wonderful to roam around New Mexico,.

Best story in ages. If I could give it ten stars I would. Both of the main characters are Oscar worthy.

Couldn’t stop listening

McGarrity is not good at big plots. His writing is stilted and unbelievably. But put in the west, among horses and he draws the characters so well you can smell them. This story may be too violent for some but that was needed to created the horrible antagonist. Despite the fact his characters act rationally, he creates tension. He never resorts to having the protagonist “run the middle of a street while being chased by cars.” And the ending was very nice.

Nicely Balanced

Would highly recommend this book. All of the Kearney series is excellent but this one is exceptional.
George does his usual great job and makes the story even better.

The best Kearney book yet

There was a lot of gratuitous violence in this book in the series. Not for the feint of heart nor even most of us who abhor needless ending of life. It wasn’t the best in McGarrity’s series.

Killing Spree

Great writing as always but reading so much careless and horrifying death was hard for me. Thank goodness for the ending McGarrity chose.

Too grisly for me

Reading in graphic detail about a sadistic criminal diminished the enjoyment of another good story about Kevin Kearney and the many other good characters crafted by McGarrity. As always, Guidall’s narration is top flight.

Sadistic Criminal

This series is one of the best ever and I have read about half a dozen and liked them enough to listen to all in the series. Very realistic.
