When Lulu Lavender's racially blended family is murdered and she's abducted while the resources of the Cochise County Sheriff's Office are devoted to the high-profile, media circus case of a missing white girl, it's left to a small substation and Sheriff's Lt. Buck Shelton to solve the case and find her.
The case leads Buck into a dark world of desperate power seekers, border vigilantes and drug dealers, and ultimately to a bloody showdown between good and evil, with tendrils that reach all the way back to the first Europeans to enter the American southwest.
