About this item
In the stark, expansive high desert of Nevada, Sheriff Porter Beck faces a cascade of challenges that disrupt the usual tranquility of his jurisdiction. Returning to his hometown after many years, Beck carries on the law enforcement legacy of his father with a small team, overseeing a vast area that's typically serene but now beset by unexpected turmoil.
The trouble begins with a spate of deaths linked to potent illegal opioids, claiming the life of one of Beck's childhood friends. Concurrently, another childhood acquaintance, now a prominent rancher, becomes the target of a military drone hijacked by an unknown assailant who brazenly identifies Beck by name. This personal challenge thrusts Beck into an investigation where the stakes escalate with each perplexing development.
Central to the mystery is Mercy Vaughn, a teenage hacker known locally for her skills, despite being confined to a secure juvenile detention center without access to computers. Beck's suspicion deepens as he investigates Mercy's potential involvement in the drone incident, sensing there's more to her story than meets the eye.
When Mercy suddenly disappears, Beck realizes she holds crucial answers to unraveling the mystery and preventing further catastrophe. Racing against time, Beck must navigate the complexities of his small, interconnected community while confronting adversaries whose motivations remain shrouded in mystery.
The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of rugged landscapes and tight-knit communities, where Beck's determination and resourcefulness are tested as he unravels a web of deceit and danger. Delving into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the resilience of small-town life, the story promises suspense and intrigue as Beck grapples with personal demons and strives to protect those he cares about from an escalating threat. ❤️📚❤️
