Career lawman Daniel Shaye has returned to the town of Vengeance Creek, Arizona with his two sons, Thomas and James, to take on the jobs of sheriff and deputies. Before long, they find themselves embroiled in cases of murder and revenge. When Red Fleming and his gang come to town to break his brother, Harry Fleming, out of jail, they kill a jailer in the process. Since it was Thomas who arrested Harry, Sheriff Shaye sends his sons out to bring the Fleming brothers back. It's the first time the Shaye brothers have gone out on a manhunt without their father. Meanwhile, Sheriff Daniel Shaye can't leave town because Cole Doucette has been released from prison, and is rumored to be on his way to Vengeance Creek to gain revenge on the man who sent him to jail—Mayor Snow, formerly a district attorney. With the Shaye brothers trailing one gang, and their father, Daniel, waiting for another to arrive in town, the tension is high for the Shaye men, risking their lives to stand behind the symbol of the law they wear on their chests, the badge.

      Sheriff Daniel Shaye knows ex-con Cole Doucette is heading for Vengeance Creek to kill a local judge, but he isn't worried. Daniel and his sons, Thomas and James, can handle Doucette and his family. The situation changes when Red Fleming breaks his brother out of jail, kills a jailer, and escapes. Unwilling to leave the town unprotected, Daniel sends his sons after the Flemings. Thomas and James are capable deputies?one can even outshoot his dad?but they lack experience. Alternating chapters show readers the big picture, giving them a leg up on the Shayes. While the sheriff is trying to prevent a murder, Thomas is pursuing his quarry in Mexico, and James is forced to kill a man. Daniel is a bit worried, but they have confidence in each other. Randisi (When Somebody Kills You, 2015) is a master at revealing character and creating tension with dialogue alone, especially in the exciting conclusion, when the three Shayes face death together?but only one of them can save their lives.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
