FROM BACK COVER: In a remote New Mexico campground, six people are killed in an apparently senseless murder spree (sounds just like something that would happen in NM!) Deputy State Police Chief Kevin Kerney suspects the slayings weren't random at all - but rather a calculated plot to eliminate one high-profile victim: retired Judge Vernon Langsford. In piecing together the judge's shocking past, Kerney discovers the victim's predilection for sexual indiscretions, a history of family betrayal and greed, and a dark marriage that ended mysteriously and violently. But as Kerney gets closer to the heart of a terrible crime, it's a woman from his past who emerges with a stunning secret of her own...
