One of the most memorable characters in recent crime fiction returns in another gripping, richly atmospheric tale of suspense set against the harsh and haunting beauty of New Mexico. In Under the Colour of Law, Kevin Kerney is back in Santa Fe, newly installed as police chief, when a US ambassador's estranged wife is found murdered in her multimillion-dollar home. Before he can mount a proper investigation, an FBI anti-terrorism team arrives, takes control of the inquiry, and forces Kerney to watch from the sidelines as the crime scene is sanitized, potential witnesses disappear, and the case is cleared with trumped-up evidence. Convinced that unscrupulous government agents are acting outside the law, Kerney begins his own clandestine hunt for a hard target that will lead him to the truth about the homicide, knowing full well that he might not survive the chase.
