Wendy Hornsby "Edgar Award-winning author of "77th Street Requiem" and "A Hard Light" A magnificent tale. Rarely does a writer bring together stunning suspense, fascinating characters, a rich tale, and a splendid evocation of place with the grace and skill that Michael McGarrity delivers in "Serpent Gate". A star to watch. Robert Utley "Former Chief Historian of The National Park Service and author of thirteen books of western American history Michael McGarrity knows New Mexico intimately -- its diverse geography, its multifaceted cultural scene, its politics, and its law-enforcement apparatus. Master of suspenseful, action-packed narrative and vivid characterizations, he fits his plot into a geographical and human setting of extraordinary authenticity. Linda Fairstein "Bestselling author of "Final Jeopardy" and "Likely To Die" Michael McGarrity's novels are a perfect blend of riveting action and richly evoked characters, making Santa Fe look more irresistible than ever. "Serpent Gate" is his best -- a real winner. James Crumley "Hammett and Raymond Chandler Awards Winner, Author of "The Last Good Kiss" As complex and compelling as a desert sunset -- I stayed up all night, reading it straight through. The characters are solidly etched, the plot tightly coiled, and the police procedure outstanding. It's a fine book. Sarah Lovett "Author of "A Desperate Silence" Michael McGarrity delivers another winner -- "Serpent Gate" is moody, evocative, compelling.

Reseña del editor:

Semi-retired cop Kevin Kerney investigates a small-town killing--connected to an uncharted location called Serpent Gate--which local authorities have been unable (or unwilling) to solve. Then a murder and multimillion-dollar art theft lure Kerney away to glitzy Santa Fe where he's pitted against his nemesis from south of the border.
