Let the Good Prevail: A Novel

Small-­town boys Caleb and Jake Boyd spend their days splitting logs and barely scraping by in the badlands of New Mexico. Caleb, a decorated war hero, wants to put his fighting days behind him, find a decent job, and start a quiet life with his new fiancée. But Jake is always dreaming bigger than he should, and when he stumbles across a large crop of marijuana hidden in the wilderness, he thinks he has finally hit the jackpot.

It turns out that stealing the harvest is about the worst scheme Jake has ever had, and before long, the brothers find themselves on a collision course with a vicious drug cartel, its eccentric kingpin—a professional dancer­ turned­ gangster who walks barefoot among the mesas—and a corrupt, cocaine-­addled sheriff, who also happens to be Caleb’s future father-­in-­law. Violence and mayhem ensue, hurtling Caleb on a tragi­comic journey toward an unexpected end.
