In this fiery and violent new sequel to The Far Empty, even though Sheriff Ross is dead and gone, outlaws still walk free, peace comes at a price, and redemption remains hard to find.

Some things in the Big Bend never change. Sometimes we have to be wolves.

In the wake of Sheriff Stanford Ross' death, former deputy Chris Cherry - now Sheriff Cherry - is the new "law" in Big Bend County, yet still struggling to escape the long, dark shadow of that infamous lawman. As Chris tries to remake and modernize his corrupt department, bringing in new deputies like young America Reynosa and Ben Harper - a hard-edged, veteran homicide detective now lured out of retirement - Chris finds himself constantly staring down a town unwilling to change, friends and enemies unable to let go of the past, and the harsh limits of his badge.

But it's only when a local Rio Grande guide is brutally and inexplicably murdered, and America and Ben's ongoing investigation is swept aside by a secretive federal agent, that the novice sheriff truly understands just how tenuous his hold on that badge really is. And as other new threats rise right along with the unforgiving West Texas sun, nothing can prepare Chris for the high cost of crossing dangerous men like John Wesley Earl, a high-ranking member of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas and patriarch of a murderous clan that's descended on Chris' hometown of Murfee, or Thurman Flowers, a part-time pastor and full-time white supremacist hell-bent on founding his violent Church of Purity in the very heart of the Big Bend.

Before long, Chris, America, and Ben are outmaneuvered, outnumbered, and outgunned -inexorably drawn into a nearly 20-year vendetta that began with a murdered Texas Ranger on a dusty highway outside of Sweetwater and that can end only with fire, blood, and bullets in Murfee's own sun-scorched streets.

Welcome back to the Big Bend.

being a city boy I was surprised how easily I was captured by Texas. The writing remains artistic and a narrator is nothing less than magical.

Enjoyed High White Sun even more than I did Scott's first installment. His writing was thoughtful so that each turn of the action in this crime story was unpredictable and quite suspenseful. Characters were well developed and colorful background was included, explaining their personalities and roles, adding to the depth of the story. I listened to the book at a rate of one of two chapters at a time and found it easy to pick up the story where I had left off. The Narrator's skillful voice manipulation for each character added immensely to the listening experience. It was a great read!

Thoughtful Writing Filled with Action and Suspense

What a great sequel to the Big Empty. This is so well written and characters developed so lifelike that you feel you are right in on the plot and the action. The narration only adds to the book. I hope this new author has more to create for us. J. Todd Scott is on my “must always read” list.

Cannot Miss This

I drive a lot and listen to audio books while I'm driving. I like crime/detective stories. This is @ the top of my list for the year and is better than his first book. The story brings us deeply into the lives of the bad guys and there's enough complexity with all the characters good and bad to grip the listener. Beyond the story the narration by T. Ryder Smith is A++. Changing accents and intonations from West Texas drawls to Mexican is outstanding. I highly recommend this book and the narrator.

Super story from beginning to end. My Malo bombers. A very graphic novel at all levels.

Great story with wonderful cast of characters.

I've read it twice to make sure I haven't missed any of the plot, looking forward to more books from this author.

Great, loved it as much as the "The Far Empty!

This is the second time I have listened to this book and even tho I knew the story the reader and the writer are just as entertaining as the first time! The character development is excellent, the descriptions of the barren SW are so spot on, the reader feels the loneliness of the vast emptiness. Reading the 3 Sheriff Cherry books as a trilogy adds to the enjoyment!

I'm so happy I stumbled across J. Todd Scott! I listen to both audibles in the series and I just wished there was a third one. But no worries! Scott has other books.

Colorful characters-- well-developed, excellent writing-- very creative, and the plot urged me to the finish line. Story was told through these different characters. Imagine being inside the head of a sociopath with a badge, right when he gets high...it was comical at times yet made sense as to the "why" behind their actions. Bad guys, good guys, some in between, and you get to know them all without the story being too wordy and losing the listener.

I don't know if I would have enjoyed this book as much, had I read it instead of listening because T. Ryder Smith was perfect at narrating this story; his voice gave life to these characters and the events that took place. One of the best audibles I've listened to in some time.

Unbelievably Entertaining!

I listened to this book on the strength of the first one--in both cases, a good setting, interesting characters, a lot of skulduggery in a small town, decent pacing and a narrative twisty enough to be interesting but not so much as to lose me. I recommend it.
And the reader has a good voice and intonation, for the most part, but among the misses are many jarring moments that fling the listener (me, that is) out of the action to be focused on the mysteries of how an apparently literate person can be so unfamiliar with such basic words. The Spanish pronunciation is hit or miss--if he can pronounce some of the words correctly, why not all of them? These are basic Spanish words and phrases, and it's the easiest language to pronounce . . . but he seems to improvise each word in hopes he gets it right, without learning the fundamentals of hte alphabet.
Worse yet, though, is the reader's apparent unfamiliarity with many common words, words used to describe the setting, for example. His bungled reading of "butte" nearly made me send the book back, even though I wanted to hear what happened next. I mean, come on. ReallY?

reader baffled by simple words

Comparisons are odious - particularly in the Arts. But J. Todd Scott is the best new author that I have read in a decade. His tone is stark, economical, with pitch-perfect dialogue. Cormac McCarthy does come to mind. Or Larry McMurtry. The characters breathe authenticity; the plot engages. What a pleasure to encounter great writing in this genre...doesn't happen often.
And T. Ryder Smith, as narrator, makes West Texas come alive - the right man with the right author.
Wish I had picked up, initially, Scott's first, "The Far Empty". But no matter. "High White Noon" stands quite nicely on its own.
It would appear that audio book fans have a new author with which they can't go wrong....

The next Cormac McCarthy...?
