Tree of Redemption (Chris Hamilton #1)

Chris Hamilton journeys to Brownsville, Texas from his native Virginia in 1995, after receiving a cryptic note saying that his mentor, Armando Geurra, had mysteriously died. Chris soon finds out that his death was no accident and becomes entangled in decades of animosity and vengeance. Even as a man who has lived an exciting life as a baseball player and successful builder, he has to draw on all of his resources and talents to navigate a maze of unanswered questions, bizarre events, and deception.

As he grapples with with what may or may not be the truth, he forms unexpected bonds with new friends, finds himself drawn, into a poorly timed, ill fated romance, and is given the unique opportunity to learn about, and from, a shadowy figure from his past.

Set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Southwest Texas and the intermingling of Hispanic and American cultures, this is a story of honor, character, and redemption across distance and time.
