Dead man's badge

the long version

"Longview Moody, a cash runner for a Mexican cartel, escapes a body dump in the desert leaving behind the corrupt DEA agent who would have murdered him. After taking revenge and stealing the money from the drop, he runs to the one cop he knows he can trust, his near identical half-brother, Paris Tindall. Longview makes it back to his mobile home only to find Paris dead inside. Assuming he was the target, and that the killers believe him dead, Longview burns the trailer with the body inside then takes his brother's place as the newly hired Chief of Police in Lansdale, TX. Now Longview, a career criminal and lifetime loner, forges new and unexpected relationships as he works to become the kind of cop and man who would make his dead brother proud. When the two lives he's living converge, he's forced to embrace the violence that has always been a part of him to enforce both the law and the justice on the border, but most of all, for revenge." -- Back cover.
