Santa Fe Sacrifice (a.k.a. Sacrifice)Adam Rance, a.k.a. Rance Colby, acquires a driver's license for the first time to please his wife and is promptly summoned for jury duty. Unknown to Rance, both the presiding judge and his old friend General Rubin Brock are responsible for his selection. Their intent is to use the trial of murdered Santa Fe socialite Lillian Saunders as a pretense for enlisting Rance and his unique talents. A major threat to America is eminent. Rance is the logical operative to prevent a disaster of monumental proportions.Against his better judgment and in disguise, he agrees to meet in private with Judge Jaquez. Still unaware of the general's involvement but recognizing the threat to America that the judge had explained, Rance is again forced out of retirement. He now faces the responsibility of saving the life of an innocent man while derailing several foreign governments from stealing plans for a revolutionary biological-bomb. Illegally developed at the U.S. Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, the weapon is in danger of falling into the hands of our enemies-who seek to conquer the United States and bring it to its knees.A murdered woman's heart is missing. A timeworn shrub guards an ancient secret. A long-dead Indian shaman and a mystical giant Blue Rabbit guide Rance through a New Mexican subterranean passage. Unknown to anyone-is who authorized the illegal weapon?"W.R. Park's Santa Fe Sacrifice is a blusteringly original effort that's as timely as it is cautionary. Rich in the kind of detail, plotting, and color akin to the best high action work of Stephen Hunter, David Morrell, and, here anyway, the late great Tony Hillerman, Here is a tale wonderfully plotted and brilliantly told." -USA TODAY'S bestselling author Jon Land
