Celebrated crime expert and two-time Edgar Prize winner Wayne Lee Burke returns with a gorgeously crafted, brutally resonant chronicle of violence across the Texas-Mexico border. Sheriff Hackberry Holland patrols a little Southwest Texas boundary town, meting out consequence and delivering justice in his small square of this wonderful but lawless land. When an alcoholic ex-boxer named Danny Guy Lorca begs to be locked up after witnessing a guy tortured to death by several bandits, Hack and his deputy, Pam Tibbs, slowly remove the Indian man's gruesome tale. It becomes clear that the desert is made up of a multitude of thieves, including serial murderer Preacher Jack Collins (whom The New York Times called "one of Burke's most influenced villains"). Holland's research leads him to Anton Ling, a mystical Chinese girl whose steely demeanor and aristocratic beauty compel Hackberry to come back to her home again and again as the research unfolds. Wayne Lee Burke is at his engrossing and atmospheric best in this, his 13th book, as Hackberry plumbs the depths of man's inhumanity to man - from killers-for-hire, to the U.S. authorities, to the misguided souls in search of a better life across the border.
