Sulfur Springs (Cork O'Connor Series, Book #16) by William Kent Krueger
When Cork O'Connor journeys far from his beloved Minnesota lake country to the forbidding landscape of the Arizona desert, he is a man on a mission. He and his new wife, Rainy Bisonette, are tracking down her son, Peter, who vanished after leaving a cryptic voice-mail message in which he seemed to confess to a murder.
Arriving in Coronado County, they follow their only lead to the remote desert town of Sulfur Springs. Ther, Cork's and Rainy's questions about peter yield no answers, but the do seem to be making the locals nervous. Soon they become the targets of a violent -- and nearly fatal -- attack. As they desperately piece together scraps of information, Cork and Rainy begin to grasp that they've stepped into something much larger than they could have imagined. A war is going on along the border involving drug traffickers, undocumented immigrants, and a small group of activists. Cork finds himself battling not only these competing factions but also his growing sense that Rainy might know more about what's going on than she's willing to admit. If he can't trust his own wife, whom can he trust?
