520    "In the tradition of Craig Johnson and C. J. Box, Bruce 
       Borgos's The Bitter Past begins a compelling series set in
       the high desert of Nevada featuring Sheriff Porter Beck...
       Porter Beck is the sheriff in the high desert of Nevada, 
       north of Las Vegas. Born and raised there, he left to join
       the Army, where he worked in Intelligence, deep in the 
       shadows in far off places. Now he's back home, doing the 
       same lawman's job his father once did, before his father 
       started to develop dementia. All is relatively quiet in 
       this corner of the world, until an old, retired FBI agent 
       is found killed. He was brutally tortured before he was 
       killed and clues at the scene point to a mystery dating 
       back to the early days of the nuclear age. If that wasn't 
       strange enough, a current FBI agent shows up to help 
       Beck's investigation. In a case that unfolds in the past 
       (the 1950s) and the present, it seems that a Russian spy 
       infiltrated the nuclear testing site and now someone is 
       looking for that long-ago, all-but forgotten person, who 
       holds the key to what happened then and to the deadly 
       goings on now. Praise for The Bitter Past "A thrilling and
       assured debut, Bruce Borgos' The Bitter Past is at once a 
       high stakes tale of high treason in the high desert and an
       unflinching examination of the lasting scars that even the
       coldest of wars can leave behind."-Chris Holm, Anthony 
       Award winning author of The Killing Kind and Child Zero "A
       crisp jolt of cask-strength, 100-proof writing." -Craig 
       Johnson "Vividly set in Nevada's high desert, The Bitter 
       Past is an emotional story about the steep cost of doing 
       the right thing. Bruce Borgos tells a gripping tale with 
       vivid characters at a breakneck pace - I can't wait to see
       what Porter Beck does next!" -Nick Petrie, author of The 
       Runaway "Bruce Borgos' new mystery checks all the boxes: A
       stunning opening chapter, fascinating characters, plenty 
       of action, intriguing story lines, wonderful humor to 
       offset the tension, and even a hint of romance. I 
520    was sorry to see it end." -Anne Hillerman, author of the 
       Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito mysteries"--|cProvided by
