Kevin Kerney might just be the best cop currently working the mean streets
of mystery fiction. As deputy chief of the New Mexico State Police, he is not
tortured by the doubts, angst, alcoholism, or mixed motives that seem to
overwhelm many of his fictional colleagues. His
methods are rarely flashy or excessively macho, and
he treats other cops of all ranks with a minimum of
attitude. Author Michael McGarrity, who worked for
Santa Fe's sheriff's department before retiring to write, has managed to
make Kerney human without loading him with excess baggage. Reviewer:

Brisk pacing, meticulous plotting, and characters to root for: the fourth
(Serpent Gate, 1998, etc.) and best in a series that was never less than
professional and is now approaching distinguished. -- Copyright ©1999,
