On the road to the location, Kerney discovers the dead body of an undercover federal agent.

"KEVIN KEARNEY IS A FAVORITE CHARACTER AND THE AUTHOR CONTINUES TO PUT HIM IN BELIEVABLE SITUATIONS. THIS BOOK BRINGS BACK A CHARACTER FROM HIS CHILDHOOD THAT HE NEVER REALLY LIKED AND WHO TRIED TO GET HIM INTO TROUBLE EVEN THEN. THE FILMING OF A MOVIE DRAWS KEARNEY INTO THE PLOT."
— Cheryle (5 out of 5 stars)
“McGarrity’s trademark realism holds true.”
— Santa Fe New Mexican“McGarrity focuses on the details of the settings and on the cahracters’ tactical maneuvers…deftly swapp[ing] out at surprising moments to the POV of the bad guys, and with fine but low-grade intensity.”
— Publishers Weekly“The series remains one of crime fiction’s most readable.”
— Kirkus Reviews" Blech! I'm always on the lookout for new mystery novelists, but this won't be one of them. It started out with an interesting plot line, but went off on a totally separate parallel plot line that was not remotely interesting that confusingly never hooked up with the first plot line. "
— Darcy, 10/11/2013" Not one of his better books. "
— Patricia, 7/21/2013" McGarrity keeps me reading, but I think I need a break after one more! "
— Glena, 2/6/2013" A new author for me, pretty good - I enjoyed it "
— Charles, 1/31/2013" Modern lawman mystery set in New Mexico. "
— Gypsy, 8/23/2012" Two mysteries in one book. Both Kerney and his wife are dealing with their own investigations in this enty in the series. Highly intriguing and enjoyable. I love this series. "
— Vickie, 8/22/2012" Very readable, but not one of his best. "
— Geekonabike, 7/17/2012" Good cop fiction. Fun ride. Cheesy writing, but lots of good information. "
— Jeremy, 3/18/2012" No offense to McGarrity but I found this one pretty damn dull. I think the well onthis New Mexico mystery series has run dry on me. "
— Rebecca, 10/10/2011" This was the first one I had read in thtis series, but it is #10. Think I didn't know enough of what went on beforehand. "
— Marilyn, 9/17/2011" For a Michael McGarrity/Kevin Kearney easy read, this was a good one. A little tension and intrigue is added by way of a side-story involving the sabotage of his military wife's career by her superior. Unfortunately, that angle is left hanging, and, as far as I know, sequels don't resolve it. "
