The Yaquina Covenant Dave P Fisher

A Northwest Suspense Collection novel A defunct lumber mill lost to a depressed Oregon economy, its wealthy owner, and a handful of aging residents in the remnants of the mill town weave a homespun illusion of rural innocence. Retired Sheriff's Detective Brant Warwick moves his family to the Oregon coast. When an old logger tells him of finding his friend dead behind the mill grounds, of clandestine nightly activity and police investigations halted, Brant's cop blood takes hold and he begins to dig. The more he digs the more he finds. The old mill is merely the tip of a hulking iceberg. Brant calls for help from his brother Mickey, a 30-year DEA veteran with a stellar record whose team was instrumental in the '92 breakup of Asia's Golden Triangle drug rings. The game heats up and the stakes turn deadly as the truth and players surface, but Mickey plays the game with steel nerves until he discovers that one of the two Oregon-based agents assisting him is on the take. The problem is both were on his Asian team and are his best friends. The question is - which one can he truly trust to cover his back and which one wants him dead?
