From back of book:

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, Edgar and Eugene Cox.

Enlisting young state game and fish officer Jim Stiles to help solve the crimes, Kerney slowly uncovers evidence connecting the ruthless Cox feud with another suspicious death -- and the radical actions of New Mexico's present day county militia. But new assistant district attorney Karen Cov -- Edgar's alluring daughter -- is torn between hiding her father's long buried secret and helping Kerney find the truth. Now someone wants Kerney dead -- and the deeper he investigates, the he may be digging his own grave.
