This is a first published novel by Scott who has 20 years in with the DEA, with experience on the border. It's set in the Big Bend country in the fictional town of Murfee. Drugs, leos, human frailties and faults.
As noted author Craig Johnson writes, " 'The Far Empty' is so good I wish I'd written it. The poetic and bloody ground of West Texas has given birth to a powerful new voice in contemporary western crime fiction".
Other glowing reports, too.
It's a fine novel and if you have any interest in modern western crime novels it's a good one to pick up. 430 pages.
