DescriptionInstant #1 New York Times bestsellerIn James Pattersons white-hot Western thriller, a Texas Ranger fights for his life, his freedom, and the town he loves as he investigates his ex-wifes murder. Across the ranchlands and cities of his home state, Rory Yatess discipline and law-enforcement skills have carried him far: from local highway patrolman to the honorable rank of Texas Ranger. He arrives in his hometown to find a horrifying crime scene and a scathing accusation: he is named a suspect in the murder of his ex-wife, Anne, a devoted teacher whose only controversial act was ending her marriage to a Ranger. In search of the killer, Yates plunges into the inferno of the most twisted and violent minds hes ever encountered, vowing to never surrender. That code just might bring him out alive.
