Patricide

Investigating a murder in a family too much like his own, El Paso Homicide Detective Devon Gray walks a tightrope between protecting his kin and upholding the law. When his ex-con brother is implicated in the case, Devon strives to keep silent about his brother’s complicity while seeking the truth. Award-winning author Elizabeth Fackler deftly portrays the two families opposed across the field of one detective’s love and honor.

Elizabeth Fackler won the 2009 Best Historical Novel Award for My Eyes Have a Cold Nose and was a finalist for the 2007 Best Historical Novel Award for Bone Justice in the New Mexico Book Awards. Her historical novel on the Lincoln County War, Billy the Kid: The Legend of El Chivato¸ was called “a magnificent achievement in historical fiction” by Western Writers of America. Elmer Kelton said, “She makes the legend live.” Award-winning author Ed Gorman said, “She has a unique approach to storytelling and speaks in a voice all her own. Equally exceptional in both crime and historical fiction, she makes familiar elements startling and new through the dazzle of her prose and the humanity of her forgiving gaze.”
