About the book
The New York Times bestselling author of Ordinary Grace weaves a vivid and pulse-pounding thriller that follows Cork O'''Connor’s search for a missing man amid the fraught tensions at the border between Arizona and Mexico.
On the Fourth of July, as fireworks are getting ready to light up the sky in Aurora, Minnesota, Cork O'Connor and his new wife Rainy Bisonette are interrupted by a frantic phone call from Rainy's son, Peter. Despite the poor connection, they hear Peter confess to the murder of a man named Rodriguez before the call abruptly ends.
The next day, Cork and Rainy fly to southern Arizona, where Peter had been working at a drug rehab center. Upon arrival, they discover that Peter was fired six months ago and has since disappeared. Their search leads them to Sulfur Springs, a small desert town where Peter had been receiving his mail. Despite their efforts, no one in Sulfur Springs seems to know Peter, but they do recognize the name Rodriguez as part of a powerful cartel.
As they gather information about Peter, Cork and Rainy are repeatedly cautioned about the ongoing war along the border. The advice to 'Trust no one in Coronado County' resonates with Cork, who feels out of place in the harsh Arizona environment. With each passing day, he becomes more suspicious of Rainy's knowledge of the situation in this thrilling mystery featuring one of fiction's most beloved heroes.
