As the law in Big Bend County, Sheriff Chris Cherry is struggling to remake and modernize his department while staring down a town unwilling to change and the harsh limits of his badge. But it's only when a local river guide is brutally and inexplicably murdered that the novice sheriff truly understands just how tenuous his hold on that badge really is. And nothing can prepare Chris for the high cost of crossing dangerous men such as John Wesley Earl--a general in the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas and the partiarch of a murderous clan that's descended on Chris's hometown of Murfee--or Thurman Flowers, a part-time pastor and full-time white supremacist hel-bent on founding his violent Church of Purity in the very heart of the Big Bend. Before long, Chris and his team are outmaneuvered, outnumbered, and outgunned--inexorably drawn into a nearly twenty-year vendetta that began with a murdered Texas Ranger on a dusty highway, and that can only end with fire, blood, and bullets in Murfee's own sun-scorched streets....
