Urban Waite

Life hasn't worked out the way Ray planned. Ten years ago he had a wife, a job, a child. Now he has nothing. And nothing to lose. He is back in his home town of Coronado for one last job. Just one small job and that will be the end of it. But in the past ten years the rules have changed. Today nothing is the same. And as Ray's past is dug up, he discovers that perhaps there is something worth fighting for after all. Something he almost lost, and something he will not give up on again

Hunt, an ex-convict, has spent the past twenty years on a small ranch with his wife, supplementing his income with the odd drug smuggling job. Drake, a deputy sheriff, is newly married and has almost escaped the shadow of his father, who was also a sheriff -- and no stranger to the drug trade himself...Drake is on Hunt's trail when a big drug deal in the mountains goes awry and so begins a terrifying race against time. Although Hunt evades Drake's attempts at capture the traffickers soon unleash a merciless hired killer to reclaim what's theirs. As the chase closes in and loyalties are tested, Drake's quest for justice contends with a hitman's quest for blood, and Hunt must face a terrible choice...

Con su padre aún en prisión, Bobby Drake necesita algo más que una estrella de ayudante del sheriff para demostrar que se encuentra en el lado bueno de la ley. La desconfianza ajena y una corazonada propia lo llevan a aprovechar su dia libre para acampar en las montañas de Silver Lake, donde acaba desbaratando una operacion de trafico de drogas a traves de la frontera canadiense, aunque no puede impedir que uno de los implicados huya.Tras haber pasado diez años a la sombra, Phil Hunt se ha prometido morir antes que volver a pisar la carcel. Durante dos decadas ha llevado una vida normal junto a su esposa Nora, criando caballos y cuidando de su rancho, ocasionalmente transportando cargamentos de cocaina para que le cuadraran las cuentas. Ahora debe mostrarse mas rapido que Bobby Drake y la DEA, pero tambien que el brutal asesino que los dueños del alijo han enviado para borrar sus huellas.

Sheriff Patrick Drake tried to lead an upstanding life and maintain some financial stability until his wife passed away. He did okay for a while, singlehandedly raising his family in a small mountain town. Then he was hit with money troubles, fell in with some unsavoury men, and ended up convicted of one of the biggest crimes in local history. Twelve years later Patrick is on parole under the watchful eye of his son Bobby, who just happens to be a deputy sheriff in his fathers old department. Bobby hasnt had it easy, either. Hes carried the weight of his fathers guilt, forsaking his own dreams, and put off the knowledge that his own marriage could be stronger and more hopeful. Yet no matter how much distance hes tried to put between himself, his father, his grandfather, and the past, small town minds can have very long memories. But trouble isnt done with the Drakes - and a terrifying threat boils up from Patricks old life. And this time, no one will be spared
