But imagination only goes so far. To escape his painful past, Ray joins the army and finds a career that gives him a sense of purpose and the promise of adventure. Recent news of his kid sister's disappearance brings Ray home on leave before beginning a stateside assignment almost certain to send him back into the jungles of Vietnam. Determined to find Barbara despite a police investigation that has led nowhere, Ray embarks on a relentless search that takes him from the majestic Montana ranchlands and glitter of Hollywood to the mean streets of L.A. and beyond. As time dwindles, he must confront his worst nightmare. What if Barbara's search for The Long Ago ended in a shallow, unmarked grave, not in the carefree life she'd once so longed for and imagined?" -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2635754</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2635754</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McGarrity, Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2635754164</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798885795173/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dead or Alive]]></title><description><![CDATA[Retired Santa Fe police chief Kevin Kerney is horrified to learn that his horse-training partner, Riley Burke, has been murdered by an escaped prisoner, prompting Kerney to team up with his half-Apache son to hunt down the killer.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1867952</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1867952</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McGarrity, Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1867952164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Kevin Kerney Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525950813/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under the Color of Law]]></title><description><![CDATA[Returning to Santa Fe as a newly-installed police chief, Kevin Kerney is faced with the murder of a U.S. ambassador's estranged wife.

In Michael McGarrity's final, propulsive Kevin Kerney novel, the nightmare of the Mexican drug wars spills across the border with the discovery of a couple in a Las Cruces hotel, scalped with their throats cut. Because of the unusual MO, Detective Clayton Istee suspects that the murders are drug related, but a lack of evidence stalls his investigation. Turning to the victims for a possible motive, he learns that two years ago the couple had stolen $200,000 from a nearby casino, then disappeared. When his efforts to uncover why they'd unexpectedly returned fail to generate any leads, he resists letting the case go cold. Approached by a seasoned DEA agent working undercover to seize the assassin, Clayton is thrust into the Mexican underworld of police corruption, narcotrafficking, money laundering, and dirty federal officials on both sides of the Rio Grande.

Nobody much is talking, at least not to Kerney, but Kerney suspects that one man, Robert Cordova, a schizophrenic, saw something that memorable night. Why, for instance, does Cordova seem obsessed with rape, and what about his ramblings on the subject of Serpent Gate? And what roles, if any, should the possibly imaginary Addie and veterinarian Nita Lassiter play in Kerney's investigation? Murder and its aftermath, which are reflected on a small scale in Mountainair, play themselves out against a much glitzier backdrop in upmarket Sante Fe, where priceless art disappears from the governor's offices and a beautiful young woman dies a quick and violent death in a millionaire's mansion.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1308513</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1308513</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McGarrity, Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 1998 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1308513164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Kevin Kerney Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780684850764/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
