Ex-Ranger Jeremiah Spur is headed for Austin, Texas, on a job he canβt refuse: Find the embezzler who vanished with a real estate tycoonβs ten million plus. Itβs a personal request from the victim himself. He claims to have ties to Spurβs estranged father, a man thought long dead. Spur figures itβs one way to face family demonsβby finding them.
AND SMALL TOWN VENGEANCE...
What Spur leaves behind is also a crime: a cold-blooded double murderβthe result of competing drug cartels, and a new criminal bent for rural areas like Brenham. The case is left to Clyde Thomas to solveβan African American Deputy Sheriff whoβs turned the racially charged town upside down.
...IS A REAL KILLER.
What Spur and Thomas yield from their investigations is a link that neither imaginedβone driven by revenge, greed, and blind fear. Where it takes them is across two continents, through a violent whirlpool of dark motivations, and finally, toward the discovery of an even darker truth thatβs set to trap its next victim.
