A recurring nightmare, a soundless scream, and a maniacal grimace awakens Daniel Corbin with a surety that someone was trying to break into his trailer. A foreboding, overwhelming fear gripped his mind. He had always been a maverick with a decidedly independent streak, restless, impetuous and impulsive. Suddenly he felt strangely vulnerable. Minutes like these can turn fantasy seconds into hours of written drama.A race against time pits body impulses against mind nudged by niggle doubts.Part Navajo, Ezz Miller has a degree in Criminology and he's a deputy with the Dolores County Sheriff's department. Daniel is a math teacher, a wannabe detective and part Apache. He had worked for years as undercover for the Las Cruces, New Mexico police department.Sam and Philo buddy up to create C & M Investigations. Sam is missing now, and Philo has been awarded an ant-hill spread eagle steak-out for way-laying Geronimo Corbin after his ice cream date with Shelly Grafton.The remains of Candace Appleton turn up across the state line into Utah. Two girls have identical birth certificates. A missing granddaughter, a kidnapping, an illegal sale for adoption and another death in Nevada create inextricably entwined cases that burn details into the brain, cause oppressive stress and claustrophobic paranoia. This is an engrossing well written portrayal.
