Caitlin Strong is a fifth-generation Texas Ranger, proud
to wear the badge of her father and grandfather — until a
deadly shoot-out along the Mexican border causes her to
question her calling.
Five years later, Caitlin is
still trying to purge herself of guilt from the day that
ended her Ranger career. But a shattering discovery will
reopen old wounds, and Caitlin’s renewed investigation
into the truth behind the bloody desert firefight uncovers
a terrifying plot that reaches into every home and
threatens the very core of the country.
Her only
hope for success — and survival — is to team up with Cort
Wesley Masters, a deadly outlaw who has every reason to
want her dead. But he also holds the key to the truth she
desperately seeks in the anguished brain of an amnesiac
torture victim.
Caitlin’s tormented quest for
redemption takes her to a dark world, ranging from
Washington to Bahrain to the wastelands of Mexico, as she
finds that the strength to live comes from learning how to
die.
