Taking a seasonal job as a forest ranger in New Mexico's Gila Wilderness, ex-Santa Fe chief of detectives Kevin Kerney is looking forward to some quiet time in the mountains. Until the murder of a Mexican tourist pulls Kerney into an investigation that reaches back in time to a sixty-year-old battle between two land-rich brothers, Edgar and Eugene Cox.
Aided by a young game warden, Kerney connects the ruthless Cox feud with another suspicious death---and the radical actions of New Mexico's present-day militia. Complicating matters is the new assistant D.A.---Edgar Cox's daughter---whose loyalty to her father is tested when Kerney asks for her help in uncovering the truth. Now, someone wants Kerney dead, and the more he uncovers, the deeper he may be digging his own grave. . .
