"Spellbinding - one of our top 50 crime writers to watch..." forensicoutreach.com
Gilman James comes home from Iraq—the last of three childhood friends to return. His brothers-in-arms are mere shadows of their former selves—Gil, unmarked, determines to take care of them. But how far should a man go for the people he loves?
Stepping across the line between right and wrong, Gil finds himself stranded in the Texan desert—as a bank heist he's planned goes horribly wrong. Pursued into the badlands by US Marshal John Whicher, a moment of violent reckoning is set in train.
What makes an outlaw? Marshal John Whicher thinks he knows. But can natural justice ever outrank the law?
