Three-time Edgar Award-winner T. Jefferson Parker,
contemporary crime fiction's most critically acclaimed
writer, delivers his dark masterpiece.
Year
after year, T. Jefferson Parker delivers powerful novels of
depth and intelligence that make it clear that Dutton is not
just publishing one of the best crime writers of his
generation, but perhaps one of the greatest crime writers
ever. The novels in the Charlie Hood cycle are the most
accomplished in Parker's long career, and The Border
Lords is the pinnacle of what has become the most
groundbreaking crime series in decades.
In this
riveting new novel, Parker demonstrates once again why
The Washington Post said he writes "the best of
today's crime fiction," and why he has won the Edgar Award
three times.
ATF agent Sean Ozburn is deep undercover
supporting the sicarios of the Baja Cartel when he
suddenly goes completely dark, his only communications being
the haunting digital videos he sends to his desperately
worried wife, Seliah. Charlie Hood must determine if Oz is
simply chasing demons deeper undercover than anyone has ever
gone, or whether his friend has suffered a permanent break
with his mission and his moral compass.
A crime novel
of unprecedented scope and unrivaled storytelling ambition
by one of our most treasured talents, The Border
Lords revisits the fevered landscape of America's
southern border-and confronts the unexplored depths of
humanity's dark soul.
