About
As Apache Police Sergeant Al Victor searches for a missing Native woman, he discovers that in the canyons and deserts of Arizona, justice takes many forms.
More than two years have passed since the disappearance of Delvina Cassoose, but Al Victor hasn't given up on finding her-dead or alive. He owes it to her family and his tribe. But a gruesome discovery awakens an insatiable hunger for retribution that spirals out of Al's control . . .
Meanwhile, Sergeant Bren Allred is sent to the scene of a violent home invasion where a man is incapacitated, his computers stolen, and his wife and daughter shot. Driven by grief, the survivor-a mild-mannered fraud investigator-turns from prey to hunter . . .
Al and Bren are used to keeping the peace among a volatile brew of ranchers, miners, immigrants, and Native Americans. But they're about to discover that when cultures clash and tensions run deep, revenge often passes for justice . . .
