He was brutally tortured before he was killed and clues at the scene point to a mystery dating back to the early days of the nuclear age. All is relatively quiet in this corner of the world, until an old, retired FBI agent is found killed. Now he's back home, doing the same lawman's job his father once did, before his father started to develop dementia. Born and raised there, he left to join the Army, where he worked in Intelligence, deep in the shadows in far off places. Porter Beck is the sheriff in the high desert of Nevada, north of Las Vegas. Box, Bruce Borgos's The Bitter Past begins a compelling series set in the high desert of Nevada featuring Sheriff Porter Beck. As the body count climbs, so do the stakes for him and those he loves, especially when an alluring federal agent makes it impossible to know who to trust.In the tradition of Craig Johnson and C. Government cannot afford to have revealed. To catch the killer, he must first find the KGB spy who came to steal America’s atomic secrets sixty years earlier, who now lives closer than he could possibly know, and unravel the truth about the world’s first dirty bomb, two things the U.S. When an ex-FBI agent is tortured and killed, Beck is mystified, not by the gruesome scene in his normally quiet county but by the clues that point to the dawn of America’s atomic age and a secret test to see what would happen if deadly plutonium was “accidentally” released in the environment. But the Nevada sheriff is battling night blindness now and searching for a Russian assassin who’s killing old men in the high desert north of Las Vegas.

Porter Beck has worked in the shadows before – in another life when he could still see in the dark. Coming ! - AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW!!!
