A rich man is tortured to death in the mountains. Another hospital blows up, hundreds of miles away. It is Indian summer in Belmont, Colorado, which means it’s cold as frozen Hell, only without the snow. Sheriff Bill Tatum thinks all of this is related, somehow.

There’s nothing like a dead body to bring people out of the woodwork. Three men converge on the crime scene, and Tatum realizes that one of them killed Thomas Pitcher. Jerry Pitcher has lived his whole life under his father’s bootheel, or polished wingtip. Emmet Springer has a gallery to save and secrets to keep. Mike Stanford, Thomas Pitcher’s accountant, has a mysterious wedding band on his finger and fresh powder burns on his rifle.

Then the FBI shows up, and Sheriff Tatum must confront the possibility that his little town in the San Juan Mountains has become the center of the domestic terrorism universe.

A warm Chinook wind tumbles through the valley, but a storm is coming.

Former Army sniper Bill Tatum likes his new job. As Deputy Sheriff of Mineral County, Colorado, he gets to ride a horse and wear a cool hat, but he never expected to find a dead woman in the hills behind his cabin. Tatum never expected to find himself on the wrong side of the crosshairs, either.
The woman with the bullet hole in her temple was a reporter from the Rocky Mountain News, and her journal brings to life the big-city intrigue simmering in his small mountain town, but it brings him no closer to her murderer. The dead woman’s shorthand reveals secret affairs, political corruption, and a pending environmental disaster, but Tatum has little time to ponder motive, because the bullets are flying.
No one is safe from the deadly accurate vengeance of a well-placed rifle bullet. As Tatum muddles through the deception and lies in his once-innocent alpine village, the sniper stays one step ahead of him, killing mercilessly, then disappearing into the Colorado wilderness, eliminating his carefully chosen targets with impunity. Tatum cannot overcome the sniper’s meticulous planning and penchant for public assassinations.
When his suspects fill up the county morgue instead of the jail, Tatum realizes he must fall back on his training as an Army sniper to regain superior position and stop the terror from the ridge above.

Sergeant Jeremy Bishop is the first black team leader of the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Long Range Surveillance Detachment, or LRSD. His parachute fails to open on a freefall jump into Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and he is now the last black team leader. His old friend, Lieutenant Zachary Charles Taylor, finds his broken body on the drop zone and suspects it was no accident.
Lieutenant Taylor doesn’t know it, but he has become the lead investigator on a case that everyone wants to just go away. If he pursues it, he might just go away as well.
