Love and Death in Silicon Valley — Joseph D. McNamara

In booming high tech Silicon Valley, Sheriff Rusty Carter loses interest
in police work when his wife dies of cancer. After he retires, the Sureos
gang, for unknown reasons, almost succeeds in murdering Rusty,
who kills two gang-bangers in self-defense. Rusty turns to his former
Department for help only to fi nd that the Sheriff s Department may be
complicit. And a sleazy D.A. may be about to indict him for murder. As
if that isnt enough, its also not clear to Rusty whether or not a young,
hot, sexy female lieutenant heading the Homicide Squad wants to bed
him or put him on death row in San Quentin. Aware that he and his
closet friends are in danger of assassination by the gangs, Rusty turns
to his former allies in the FBI and the DEA. They inform him that
Mexican Drug Cartels and the local Sureos have put out a contract
on him. They advise him to disappear. But Rusty isnt about to be run
out of town by gangsters. Working to fi nd out who has marked him for
death and why, the ex-sheriff finds himself pondering preemptive strikes
against his powerful enemies. Whack them before they whack you!
