Publisher's summary

The second novel in the highly acclaimed Hackberry Holland series.

Hackberry Holland is a man haunted by a chequered and traumatic past. A former POW from the Korean War, he has left everything behind to become sheriff of a dried-out, broken-down border town in south Texas. Hack soon finds himself dealing with more than just his own demons when nine dead prostitutes are dug up behind a run-down church. The search for justice - and revenge - pits Hack against hired guns, drug dealers, and a psychotic killer known as The Preacher.

As Holland tries to end the killings and bring justice to the dead girls, he discovers just how dark the deepest corners of the human heart can get and how redemption can come in the form of a woman's love....

James Lee Burke is one of my favourite

James Lee Burke is one of my favourite authors and this book was another great effort. Without an expolsion or murder on every page he manages to weave an intriuging story with endearing characters. This is my second book featuring Hackberry Holland and my first with narrator Tom Stechschulte and I look forward to the next one.
