Thriller Crime
MAYHEM WITH A BADGE After wandering the peephole wilderness of a private detective for two decades, defrocked Dallas homicide detective Ed Earl Burch is an official manhunter again, wearing the badge of a DA's investigator in the harsh desert mountains of West Texas. Big D, it ain't. And life as a resurrected lawman isn't everything he hoped it would be. Too many rules. Not enough satisfaction. And a boss who hates him for saving his life.
But Burch is back, tracking a serial killer who tortured and murdered his ex-lover--an Aryan Brotherhood gang leader Burch thought he killed in a desert shootout. He's also trying to protect the fugitive granddaughter of an old friend and her four-year-old son-- from this straight-razor butcher and gunsels hired by her incestuous Dixie Mafia daddy. Throats get slashed. Bullets smack flesh. Bodies drop. Ed Earl Burch and his partner, Bobby Quintero, are in reckless pursuit, dodging death, closing in on their prey. No place Burch would rather be. Unless he gets killed.
