sizzling ! Days of Atonement Paperback Walter J. Williams Vintage 1992 1st Ed Sci Fi Police

incredibly good overall.
Loren Hawn is a traditional Western peace officer walking the streets of 21st Century newly-released Mexico, and seemingly unaware that times have changed. And when a dying man named Randal falls out of a bullet-riddled car and dies in Loren’s arm, Loren finds he isn’t the only man living in the wrong time--- because he remembers pulling Randal’s dead body out of a wrecked car twenty years before.
He knows the car belongs to a scientist who works at the high-security laboratory built on the outskirts of town, and he knows that if he doesn’t work instant, all evidence of a crime will disappear into national security vaults. In order to bring justice back to his community, Loren will have to risk everything, his life, his job, his faith, and his family.
This is one of Williams' finest works.
