Excellent 3rd book in what has turned into a fantastic series. If you like really well told stories, and border Drama written by a guy who has lived it, this author is definitely someone you should read.
Start with The Far Empty,
then
High White Sun
And wrap up with this excellent book. ( )

I really enjoyed the expertise of J. Todd Scott. I now have indelible scenes of a fight scene with a brilliant touch of humor, a deeper appreciation of the rugged beauty of Big Bend, Texas area and more knowledge of the violence of drug cartels. J, Todd Scott provides multi dimensional characters that will keep you hooked to this book. I missed the first two books of this series, I found that it works great as a stand alone.

His main characters are neither good nor evil but a mixture of both that makes them believable. I got really attached to them and am looking forward to them showing up in future books. The author' s background as a federal agent for DEA. His experience shines through the book. And I now have a deeper appreciation of the rugged beauty of the Big Bend Country and a great deal of respect for the law enforcement and investigators working with the DEA, braving incredible dangers from violent drug cartels.

The next book in this series will be set in Kentucky and I am eagerly anticipating that with great interest.

I received a finished received copy of this book from the Publisher as a win from FirstReads but that in no way made a difference in my thoughts or feelings in this review. ( )
