"A young woman is found brutally murdered, and the main suspect is the victim's fiancé, a hideously scarred Iraq War vet known as the Burned Man. But railroad police Special Agent Sydney Rose Parnell, brought in by the Denver Major Crimes unit to help investigate, can't shake the feeling that large forces are behind this apparent crime of passion. In the depths of an icy winter, Parnell and her K9 partner, Clyde--both haunted by their time in Iraq--descend into the underground world of a savage gang of rail riders. There, they uncover a wide-reaching conspiracy and a series of shocking crimes. Crimes that threaten everything Parnell holds dear. As the search for the truth puts her directly in the path of the killer, Parnell must struggle with a deadly question: Can she fight monsters without becoming one herself?"--Back cover.

Review of 'Blood on the tracks' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I wish that I could give this 4 1/2 stars! It was a really good book, but I have trouble giving anything the absolute best possible (five stars in this case) because I have real trouble with superlatives :-)
I really did like this book. The characters were all real and many sided! The "good guys" were not obvious or totally good, and the "bad guys" were also not obvious nor were they totally bad! The narrative did a really good job of painting the fears, doubts, justifications, and personalities in general of all important people/characters. Excellent book!
