Tularosa

De: Michael McGarrity

Narrado por: George Guidall

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.

Yes Indeed

I started this series right after I finished the A Western Novels by McGarrity. I was hoping that this series was about the same characters from the Western Novels. At first I was disappointed but then things picked up. Yes this is a series I will finish. I have already bought the next book in this series. McGarrity is just as good a writer as Johnson, and Hillerman.

1st time reader, very impressed

good character development. suspense palpable and at least decent knowledge of the described locations mentioned.

Great story and characters.

You just can't beat a story read by George Guidall. I really liked the storyline.

Tales of the Southwest

Love these stories that come from the Indian lands. This is a well written complex novel with interesting characters that make me want to read more. I am very familiar with the White Sands area of New Mexico. It is a stark but beautiful landscape. McGarrity describes it well.

Very Good but Long

This book is actually two slightly linked novels in one long story.
I am glad i got this book as an audiobook since it would have been a very long read. Being able to start and stop repeatedly was much easier as an audio file.
