Description

“[A] gritty, wide-angled modern noir . . . The first standalone novel by Birtcher, author of the Mike Travis series, pulls no punches.” —Kirkus Reviews   In 1976, as America celebrates its bicentennial, the drug game changes.

Cocaine makes a comeback, bringing with it a previously unheard of level of violence.

The copious amounts of blow crossing the US-Mexico border herald the beginning of a brave new—and terrifying—world.    Far from the brutality on the border, the nameless narrator and his partner—both Vietnam vets—live a mostly peaceful life growing pot under the northern California redwoods.

But when their livelihood is threatened by heavily armed robbers and a worthless rat, they find themselves drawn into a war with no good guys.

Caught in the crossfire between a paranoid Mexican drug kingpin and dirty federal agents, they’ll soon realize that—like every other player in the game—they’re just pawns in a vast conspiracy that starts at the top . . .   “A top-class thriller.” —San Francisco Book Review  “White-knuckle tension and crisp, clean prose . . .

Many books call themselves ‘thrillers,’ but this is the real deal.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)  “Birtcher combines a gritty, action-filled thriller with a nuanced, almost contemplative character drama . . .

Thoroughly entertaining.” —Booklist  “A thriller with genuine shocks and chills.” —Cafe Libri
