Nothing to Lose

This was a really great book. Twelve years ago in Nazareth, New Mexico a family was brutally slain. The only survivor was one son, Deke Call. And at the same time Deke's mother went missing. The man that was arrested for the murder was a drifter and he killed hisself in his cell. After 12 years, Deke Call comes home to find answers to the murders and what happened to his Mother. Also there is a new woman in town, Anna Sandoval. She is writing a book about the call murders. Anna and Deke are attracted to each other, but they both have secrets from their past that could distroy and kind of relationship. Someone is shooting and messing with Deke's Uncles's ranch. And someone is trying to kill or scare Anna off. Then the unspeakable happens again in the house that Deke grew up on. The Father and son of the family are killed and the wife is missing. Coincidence? Or is the real killer back? This book was so fast paced that it was hard to put it down. Even though I figured out the killer early in the book, the ending was still good.
