Head Wounds

By: Michael McGarrity

Narrated by: George Newbern

Given a chance to salvage his law enforcement career, Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Detective Clayton Istee catches a bizarre late-night double homicide at a Las Cruces hotel. Both victims, a man and a woman, have been scalped with their throats cut.

The murders show all the signs of a signature hit, but national and state crime databases reveal no similar profiles. Digging into the victims’ backgrounds, Clayton discovers that six months prior the couple had walked out of a nearby casino with $200,000 of a high-stakes gambler’s money.

He also learns the crime had been hushed up by an undercover federal DEA agent, who resurfaces and recruits Clayton for a dangerous mission to seize the Mexican drug lord responsible for the killings.

Thrust into the nightmare world of borderland drug wars and corrupt cops, Clayton duels with a cunning assassin poised to kill him and his family in a ferocious climax to the Kevin Kerney series that is sure to stun.

Bad performance, hard to follow this story..

Not really a Kevin Kearny book...all the characters get muddled, terrible reader. Can’t recommend this book.

Poor Reader

Consistent emphasis of inappropriate words within important phrases showed either lack of preparation or inattention to the meaning of what he was reading.

Enjoyed the audiobook

I’ve listened to and enjoyed all the Kevin kerney
books and world recommend them. I miss the previous narrator. The narrator of this book is ok and has a lot of narration to his credit but didn’t click for me.

An exceptional read

As a loyal reader of Michael McGarrity's novels, I consider this to be one of his best. Incorporating history and background of Native American subjects makes this truly interesting and entertaining. I would have rated this novel 5 stars plus, but the author felt compelled to enlighten the reader with a few "woke" comments to be fashionable.

The amount of investigation and accuracy to the storyline is appreciate

I do not mind cultural applications, but I find it offensive to minimize Christianity as the author offhandedly rebuffs it…
