The Coyote by Michael McBride

Arizona shares nearly 400 miles of international border with Mexico, 36 of which are completely unfortified. On one side lies desperation; on the other, opportunity. Tens of thousands of undocumented aliens pass through these 36 miles every year, only to find one of the harshest and most inhospitable deserts on the planet waiting for them. Hundreds die walking, casualties of the merciless sun, their bodies never to be identified. Others simply set out across the red Sonoran sands and vanish into thin air, as though they never existed at all.

Special Agent Lukas Walker is assigned to investigate a murder, the only evidence of which is a twenty-foot design painted on a rock formation in the victim’s blood. He quickly learns that if the heat doesn’t get you…The Coyote will.

“The Coyote is a significant book, and comes highly recommended.” – Twilight Ridge
“Hillerman fans will love it!” – Jeff Strand, Author of Pressure

THE COYOTE is available from Amazon and Audible.

 *****

“The Coyote is an engrossing thriller with a fascinating central character. Native-American FBI agent Lukas Walker has a wry, gritty voice that immediately compels readers to follow him on the dark trail of a serial killer. The mystery is intricate and involving, with surprising revelations at the character level, and many tense scenes as Walker digs deeper into the killer’s lair. There are effective moments of horror throughout, as we expect from Michael McBride—author of such books as Bloodletting and Burial Ground—but The Coyote is first-and-foremost a detective thriller. This book is sure to earn McBride many new fans—and we’ll all be demanding further adventures featuring Lukas Walker.” – Norman Prentiss, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Invisible Fences and Four Legs in the Morning
