Overview
Leanne Everhart left her hometown, and she planned to never look back at those fractured relationships. But the dual obligations of her father’s sudden death and her brother’s drug addiction have compelled her return. Now working as a detective in her artsy hometown near Marfa, her loyalties are split. She understands the severe, untamed beauty of her desert birthplace. But she also knows its ugly side—the racism, poverty, and constant threat of violence in a region crisscrossed by drug traffickers and vigilantes set on frontier justice.
When a nameless Latina woman is found dead on the edge of town, Leanne throws herself into finding the killer, only to find her investigation impeded by her own colleagues. The boys club she works with is more focused on the recent news of a wrongful conviction in the long-ago murder case of a rich, white teenager. At the helm of the investigation was local hero and law enforcement legend, Leanne's own father.
Plagued by her father's mistakes, Leanne pursues both cases, untangling an interconnected web of clues and crimes. Despite her disillusionment, she is desperate to break old cycles and determined to see justice served for the victims who have been silenced in the face of the inexorable forces transforming her hometown.
