    About The Edge of Justice

    Combining high-altitude climbing action with sizzling courtroom drama and raw tension, The Edge of Justice is a thriller like no other. Set amid the towering beauty of Wyoming’s mountains and the gritty underbelly of crime, here is a gut-wrenching debut novel that features one of recent fiction’s most original and complex heroes: Special Agent Antonio Burns–climber, cop, brother, son, risk-taker.

    A climber by nature, a cop by trade, Antonio has come to Laramie to investigate a young woman’s deadly plunge. But as he digs deeper into the case, Antonio is certain he has found a murder…and a stunning connection to the trial of two men about to be executed for a crime they did not commit. With a beautiful reporter sharing his investigation, he must make a harrowing ascent: up a forbidding mountainside–to bring a killer down from the deadliest kind of high.

    About The Edge of Justice

    A woman lies dead in the shadow of a Rocky Mountain peak. To the police who found her, she was just another thrill-seeking climber who fell to her death. But to a cop who has climbed all his life, this fall was no accident. He knows that a killer is in these mountains, and that the next victim has already been chosen. Now the only way to stop a series of murders is to go where the killer is–up to the pinnacle of terror. . .

Burns knows the hunger that drives climbers up the faces of mountains–it’s a hunger that has shaped his life and pushed his brother, Roberto, onto the wrong side of the law.

    PRAISE FOR THE EDGE OF JUSTICE

    “McKinzie knows his wild Wyoming, and also how to keep things moving briskly…. [The Edge of Justice] gets good marks for ringing a change or two on the chase thriller, and we’re now promised a prequel, starring the same gutsy hero.”
    –Publishers Weekly

    “An adrenaline-pumping, heart-pounding thrill ride with a terrifying climax that left me clenching for a handhold.”
    –Tess Gerritsen

    “One of the strongest debuts of the year.”
    —Chicago Tribune
