Perfect for you if...

  • You love procedural thrillers with real law enforcement details and authentic partnerships between officers from different agencies.
  • You're drawn to stories set in the American West where landscape becomes as much a character as the people.
  • You want a fast-paced read that respects your intelligence without slowing down for exposition.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer slow-burn psychological thrillers that linger on a killer's inner thoughts rather than the hunt itself.
  • You need complex, morally grey characters. Yates and Cruz are straightforward good guys doing their jobs.
  • You're looking for literary depth or character development arcs. This is plot-first storytelling.

About this book

Texas Ranger Rory Yates wears a five-pointed silver badge and carries a Sig Sauer to protect his home state. When a native woman disappears on the summer solstice, the investigation connects to a cold case. Yates, a quick-draw champion, partners with Ava Cruz, an expert archer from the Tigua Tribal police. The case leads the officers to the edges of Texas's most unforgiving landscape as they pursue what appears to be the most dangerous killer ever to terrorize the state. The investigation intensifies as the officers engage in a no-holds-barred pursuit, taking deadly aim with every resource at their disposal.
