Ricochet (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798218263294)

In South Texas, they call it "Valley Justice" ... a complicated and dangerous thing, as Nathaniel Longfellow Keller soon discovers. "Nate" as his few friends call him, is a veteran of Vietnam, a divorced alcoholic tentatively building a new life. He is tasked with seeing that a corrupt district attorney, Edgar McKenzie, is disbarred for the crime of soliciting murder - and it's all on tape, in the hands of the F.B.I. But McKenzie is a local kingpin, with many friends in high - as well as low places. When the person who McKenzie wanted killed turns up murdered after all, it's left to Nate Keller to untangle the case. And then McKenzie himself is shot dead in his jail cell. It turns out that McKenzie had enemies as well as friends. But who would prove to be more dangerous? Nate Keller teams up with F.B.I Agent Tom Hatch, and a maverick Mexican police captain, on a dangerous mission that imperils the life of the woman whom Nate loves!
