A great storyteller who is the best at building suspense
In a previous life, Kevin Kearney and his family were ranches until the New Mexico Testing Grounds were enlarged. Now, Kevin serves as the Chief Deputy of the New Mexico State Police. An opportunity to return to ranching surfaces, so Kevin goes to inspect the parcel. While there, he notices a dog carrying a woman's shoe. He takes a closer look and uncovers the carved up remains of a female corpse that remains partially buried.

While Kevin and his team investigate THE crime, they wander down other paths where other criminal actions have occurred. His personal life picks up when Sara, the woman he cares about, is transferred closer to his home. However as Sara and Nick become tight, she flees to her girlfriend's home to discuss her fear of a permanent commitment to her lover. As he searches for a mass killer, Kevin wonders whether his future will include the woman he loves.

Anyone, who takes pleasure from a fast-paced, original police procedural needs to read HERMIT'S PEAK. The descriptions of the unique geography of New Mexico remains deep in the audience's mind long after finishing the novel. The gentle, sensitive protagonist turns tough when his job calls for it. Michael McGarrity shows he is a magician as he paints a magical mystery that will entice sub-genre fans to try his other books.
