Then San Jose Police Chief Joseph D. McNamara holding assault rifle seized from gangs

RETIRED SAN JOSE CHIEF McNAMARA'S NEXT BOOK

“LIFE AND DEATH IN SUN VALLEY”

McNamara, author of four bestsellers police crime novels that have been hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “Best new detective fiction in years-you won’t be able to put it down,” New York Times, “Rings true … the wordplay in the police station, the feeling of threat in the streets – all these are realistically conveyed,” HAS PRODUCED HIS HOTTEST BOOK EVER!

In McNamara’s new thriller, retired Sheriff Rusty Carter mysteriously finds himself the target of kidnapping and assassination by violent gangs in suddenly deadly Sun Valley. When he turns to old friends in the FBI, DEA and the Sheriff’s Department, he finds that law enforcement is unable to help. He and his closest friends are in more danger than he ever imagined. Indeed, his former department may be complicit. It’s not clear whether the tough, beautiful, sexy female lieutenant who heads the sheriff’s homicide unit views him as a victim or as someone who belongs on San Quentin’s Death Row. Pushed into a lethal corner, the former sheriff faces the agonizing choice he has rejected during his entire career – DEATH AT THE HANDS OF GANGBANGERS FOR HIM AND HIS FRIENDS – OR A PREEMPTIVE STRIKE AIMED AT HIS ENEMIES!
