Search - Under the Color of Law (Kevin Kerney, Bk 6)

I have been a fan of this author for the past few years and totally by accident. A family member gave me a few of his books (Tullarosa...) After the first I was hooked. The main character Kevin Kearney is not some flawless superhero. McGarrity portrays him as someone real with warts and issues. If you want to fall into a quick reading adventure pick up one of McGarrity's Keven Kearney books and be prepared to disappear for a while.

McGarrity has a really good series in the Kevin Kearney books. Good suspense and likable characters. I'm ordering the next one now!

well written mystery that does not telegraph the ending.

Newly installed Santa Fe police chief Kevin Kerney received a deadly welcome when Phyllis Terril, a US ambassor wife, is brutly stabbed to death in her home. Before Kerney investagte, an FBI anti terrism takes over the case- forceing Kerney to watch from the side lines as the crime scene is sanitized, potentional witness disappear, and the case is closed with trumped up evidence. After refusing to accept the FBI whitewash, Kerney is warned, threatened, and put under suveillance-because there is something more sinister than murder on line. The harder he hunts for the truth, the more he knows he may not survie the chase.

Somewhat different kind of hero, but an excellent mystery.
