In this tightly paced sequel to Redemption, Eva "Lightning Dance" Duran joins the Taos Pueblo tribal police department to uncover a member of her community's murder...and the conspiracy behind it. It's been over a year since the case that almost broke her, but when Eva "Lightning Dance" Duran is called back to duty, she doesn't hesitate to answer. A bank robbery has left an officer down and a suspect on the run. Law enforcement is in hot pursuit, and residents are on the lookout--but before anyone can catch the criminal, tragedy strikes. A member of the Taos Pueblo tribe has been shot and killed. The culprit? An untraceable 3D printed gun. With the support of fellow tribal cops, Eva breaks the news to the victim's family and swears to find justice. More violence follows, feeding the rising racial tensions between the Taos Pueblo people and the Hispanic community. New evidence forces Eva to consider the possibility that the bank robbery and 3D guns are related, but until she figures out how, there's no telling how deep this crime ring goes...or how far its evasive ringleader will go to protect it.
