Storm Runners

When they met as teenagers in the Santa Ana High School marching band, Matt Stromsoe and Michael Tavarez were both charming, talented, innocent youngsters who became close friends. However, their lives would soon move in drastically different directions: Stromsoe winds up in the San Diego Sheriff's Department, and Tavarez, after a stint at Harvard, works his way up the ranks of the ruthless Mexican Mafia. Despite these differences, the two men still share an unsavory connection: they are both responsible for the death of each other's wives and now both of them are out for blood. In his 14th novel, T. Jefferson Parker uncorks a Southwestern vendetta that readers will not soon forget, and his action-packed prose shimmers like sun on desert asphalt.
