Deputy State Police Chief Kevin Kerney is weeks away from trading in his badge for a rancher's hat, when six murders are committed late one night at remote campgrounds in south central New Mexico. Peculiarities at one crime sccne suggest a grisly possibility, that five random people were shot to death to cover the premediated murder of the sixth victim, Vernon Langsford, a retired judge and wealthy businessman. As Kerney pieces together the shocking history of family betrayal, new doubts emerge about his plan to give up police work. Perhaps most troubling of all, he becomes reacquainted with a proud Apache woman from his past, who discloses a secret of her own that could easily disrupt his recent marriage to the wife he rarely sees, career army officer Sara Brannon. Challenged by the most sensational case of his career, Kerney must use all his skill to track down and bring to justice this cunning and ruthless killer.
