Mexican Hat

1997

 

“This second Kerney novel is at least the equal of its acclaimed predecessor, Tularosa.”  Booklist

Taking a job as a seasonal forest ranger in New Mexico’s Gila Wilderness, Kevin Kerney is looking forward to a quiet summer high in the mountains. But the murder of a Mexican tourist, and the discovery of a disoriented old man in the wild, thrust Kerney into an investigation that will carry him back in time to a sixty-year-old feud between two land-rich brothers. Now someone wants Kerney dead – and the deeper he investigates, the more he may be digging his own grave.
