About this listen

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.

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.

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.

Very Good but Long

I heard the two prequels to this first hard country and backlands, then discovered the series set in the contemporary southwest. McGarrigle writes and plots beautifully and obviously knows his history, his subject and his country! I high recommend these.

Don't miss the prequel

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.

Great story, great performance. The characters were real, easy to "see" them as the story played out. Another great job by George Guidall.

Very happy to see there is another story line to begin.

The description of the New Mexico terrain made me think about a possible vacation.

All I could ask for in a book.

Loved it

Just a warning that there is steady interference in the background sound. If it bothers you when listening to the sample, know that it continues throughout the book.

Bad Sound Quality

Tularosa is a terrific book with deeply moving narrative. George Guidall’s expressiveness and creative entertaining accents are beautiful.
