Death in a Harsh Land: Large Print (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986937649)

No matter how deep you dig, you can't bury the past.

Detective Jack Martin looks forward to a carefree summer in the Colorado Rockies. But fate has other plans. After a call from an old friend, Jack is on the road to Texas, headed for certain danger.

After archeologists unearth human bones on a family ranch, one of them is mysteriously murdered. Law enforcement is quick to blame Mexican cartels. Others blame an organized band of thieves wreaking havoc on area ranchers.

As Jack digs for the truth, things become even more sinister. The family patriarch has recently died in a tragic accident. But now Jack wonders if it was murder.

Could a legend of lost treasure provide a clue to the mystery? Will Jack find the killer before someone else dies?

Returning to Texas, Jack faces a part of his past that has haunted him for decades. But it's not retribution he's after. It's justice.

DEATH IN A HARSH LAND is a story of murder and mystery set in the unforgiving landscape of West Texas, and the fifth book in the suspenseful Mountain Resort Mystery Series.
