Requirements: epub reader; Size: 786 KB
Overview: Returning to the foray is former defense attorney Luke Garrison (The Disappearance), who has become something of a media celebrity after events following a hostage crisis in which Garrison was forced to kill two criminals. He receives an invitation from his old friend Nora Ray, a D.A. in isolated Muir County, to become a special investigator in the murder of Reynaldo Juarez, an international drug lord on the FBI’s ten most wanted list. Despite the attorney general’s instructions to take him alive, Juarez was killed during a vicious and bungled DEA raid on Juarez’s compound in Muir County.
As the investigation heats up, so does Garrison’s relationship with Nora. Garrison realizes right off the bat that something isn’t quite right with this case, so he plunges into a heaping pile of lies and deceptions surrounding the DEA agents who bucked the attorney general’s orders for reasons unknown. Garrison also suspects that Nora may be hiding some kind of a connection linking the crime to her own somewhat mysterious past. The populace of Muir County is an equally puzzling lot, including Sheriff Miller and his deputy, Wayne Bearpaw, two officers with their own secrets who have more than enough on their hands with the local impoverished Native American population. Regardless of his personal feelings, Garrison continues his hunt for the truth no matter what he may uncover or who else may be incriminated.
Freedman skillfully weaves together the clandestine situations and the corrupt politics of the past and the present. History plays a large part in this novel, and scenes play out with an incredible energy that lends itself to the flow of the storyline. The author refuses to allow for any easy, black-and-white answers at any time. All parties involved are constantly discovering more about themselves and exactly what the cost might be for each conviction and stance taken. While our protagonists have plenty of their own moral ambiguities, they still strive to do what’s right, despite the overwhelming amount of resistance they meet.
