Publisher's summary

Acclaimed as a born storyteller by critics, Michael McGarrity packs his powerful mystery with Southwestern lore and breathtaking action. In a wicked conspiracy reaching across the Mexican border, Tularosa pits a jaded ex-cop against tight-lipped Army personnel, hired thugs, and smooth-talking outlaws. Forced into retirement by a crippling gunshot wound, Santa Fe policeman Kevin Kerney seeks solitude on a small New Mexico ranch far from the nearest neighbor. But when his godson disappears without a trace into the harsh, high-security desert of the White Sands Missile Range, Kerney emerges to search for the young soldier. His probing questions lead him on a perilous journey across the stark, sun-beaten wilderness deep into the shadowy, cutthroat alleys of a lawless border town.

With the winning combination of complex, believable characters and a brilliantly crafted plot, it’s easy to see why Publishers Weekly named Tularosa Best Book of the Year. With George Guidall’s dramatic narration, the rugged Southwestern backdrop and each of the colorful inhabitants burst vividly from the page.

Tularosa

The story grabs you on the first page. The writing introduces the characters in-depth and allow visualization of locatuons. Having been to White Sands, El Paso and Juarez the story was even more believable to me.

A series to listen to

Great series. I am on my way to New Mexico to see the towns mentioned. Who would think our government would steal ranches for missile testing ?

Great story, so real,

I was excited to find a story with the western US as the setting. Kearney is my kind of hero. He is subtle, honest, tough, kind, committed to his beliefs, handsome in a rugged cowboy kind of way and lovable. This book has a lot to offer; if you like action, history, law enforcement, cultural awareness, detectives and romance, this is the book.
