The exiled
"Back in the 1980s, Wes Raney was an ambitious New York City narcotics detective with a growing drug habit of his own. While working undercover on a high-risk case, he made decisions that ultimately cost him not only his career but also his family. Disgraced, Raney fled-- but history is finally catching up to him. Now in his early forties, Raney is living in exile, the sole homicide investigator covering a two-hundred-mile stretch of desert in New Mexico. His solitude is his salvation-- but it ends when a brutal drug deal gone wrong results in a triple murder. Staged in a locked underground bunker, the crime reawakens Raney's haunted and violent past." -- Dust jacket flap.
