Under The Color Of Law

The Beeler Large Print Series is our core publishing program. In it we offer a balanced selection of titles and genres for the general reader. Newly-installed Santa Fe police chief Kevin Kerney receives a deadly welcome when a U.S. ambassador's ex-wife is brutally stabbed to death in her home. It all begins with the murder of the estranged wife of an ambassador-at-large, a crime that brings in federal operatives concerned about national security issues. A second, seemingly unconnected murder of a visiting priest-scholar eventually reveals to Kerney and his detectives that there is far more to both killings than the feds are letting on. But before Kerney can begin to investigate, the FBI closes the case with trumped-up evidence. Kerney has his hands full hunting for the solution to these murders, adjusting to his new position and having a long-distance relationship with his pregnant wife. The harder Kerney hunts for the truth, the more he knows that he may not survive the chase.
