Synopsis

Fresh from ten years as a U.S. Army Ranger, Quinn Colson finds his hands full as the newly elected sheriff of Tibbehah County, Mississippi. An old buddy running a local gun shop may be in over his head when stolen army rifles start showing up in the hands of a Mexican drug gang.

At the same time, an abused-child case leads Quinn and his tough-as-nails deputy, Lillie Virgil, deep into the heart of a bootleg baby racket and a trail of darkness and death. And when the two cases collide, Quinn and his allies are forced to realize that, though they may be home from the war, they are now in the fight of their lives.

So I just reviewed the first in this series. This one picks up where that one left off. Now do I assume that if you're reading this you have already read the first book or not? No I better try not to leave any spoilers. At least on purpose. Quinn is now facing an entirely new set of problems and frank......more
