Hard Country by Michael Mcgarrity

Hard Country by Michael Mcgarrity

A richly authentic epic adventure of rough-hewn men and courageous women, set in the hard country of the American Southwest frontier.

Hard Country is a rare and extraordinary story of one family's struggle to settle and endure in the vast, untamed territory of New Mexico.

In the wake of the death of his wife as she gives birth to his son, and the killing of his brother on the West Texas plains, John Kerney is forced to give up his ranch, leave his son behind, and strike out in search of the murderous outlaws and a place where he can start over. He drifts south until he meets a man who offers him work trailing cattle to the New Mexico Territory and forever changes his life.

Spanning the years of 1875 to 1918, Hard Country is the Western reinvented and enlarged into a saga that above all celebrates the people and the land of the great Southwest.

Tularosa, which was nominated for an Anthony Award, Mexican Hat, and Serpent Gate are among Michael McGarrity's works. He formed the first Sex Crimes Unit in Santa Fe County and guided it to award-winning status as a former deputy sheriff. He has also worked as an investigator for the New Mexico Public Defender's Office and as an instructor at the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy. He resides in the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
