Heaven, My Home by Attica Locke
Texas Ranger Darren Mathews has gotten himself into a whole lot of trouble: by protecting an old family friend, he may have committed a felony and implicated himself in a murder. Worse, his shifty mama has something on him and is engaging in some low-level blackmail, while Darren's wife and uncle are getting up in his business. Darren is assigned to the task force investigating the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), reviewing telephone records and correspondence from incarcerated ABT members. When the son of an ABT leader goes missing, he is assigned to assist local police in the search for the child.
A very enjoyable mystery, fast-paced and complex. If you haven't read the first book in the series (Bluebird, Bluebird), you should read that one first, since there are frequent references to characters and events in the first book. This was really the only negative for me, since it's been a while since I read the other story. While Heaven, My Home could be read as a stand-alone, it was complicated even having read Bluebird, Bluebird.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in return for a review.
