Deputy sheriff Tom Lord knows by now that far-west Texas is the
place he'll always call home. He's spent too much time in the
region's small towns to adapt to another place. And that's all
right with him. What's not all right is being a deputy sheriff,
where if it weren't for family misfortune, he might have been a
doctor instead.
Lord's got one ace-in-the-hole--the land deed that makes him the
biggest landowner in the county, just as the oil companies have
started to move in.
When Tom's approached by Aaron McBride of Highlands Oil and Gas
with a contract to set up pipelines on his property, he's more than
happy to sign on the dotted line with barely more than a cursory
glance at the paperwork--it just might be Lord's way out of a life
he never wanted in the first place. But when Lord finds out just
what that contract entailed, things start to go sour for Aaron
McBride--and fast. Because in this Texas town, Lord's the law--and
there's nothing more dangerous than a cop with nothing left to
lose.
