When pro rodeo star Johnny Jordan returns to Santa Fe, he asks his childhood friend, police chief Kevin Kerney, to serve as a consultant on a new film being staged along the Mexican border. Seeing an opportunity to get paid while enjoying a long-overdue
vacation, Kerney agrees, and brings along his wife, Lieutenant Colonel Sara Brannon, and their young son, Patrick. But on the road to the isolated location, they find the dead body of an undercover federal agent—so much for relaxation.
Filled with unbridled suspense and accurate depictions of police procedures, Nothing but Trouble benefits from the perspective of a "man who has been there and done that," according to New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman.

Returning from 2004's Slow Kill
, stoic Sante Fe police chief Kevin Kerney receives an unexpected visit from Johnny Jordan, a childhood friend and now cantankerous former rodeo pro, who convinces Kerney to serve as a technical adviser in the shooting of a local western film. Eager for a break, Kerney heads to the location in southwestern Bootheel with his lovely wife, Army Lt. Col. Sara Brannon, and his young son, Patrick, in tow. But what starts out as a working vacation in this seventh Kerney outing quickly detours into a bloody crime scene when the body of an undercover Border Patrol agent is dumped onto Highway 81. In no time, U.S. Customs joins Kerney's investigation into a possible illegal immigrant and drug smuggling operation. Meanwhile, Sara's army job unexpectedly takes her to Ireland where she must track down and seize the notorious George Spalding, a gemstone smuggler and wartime deserter. McGarrity focuses on the details of the settings and on the characters' tactical maneuvers career- and parenting-wise. The result is slightly amplified sleuthing, deftly swapped out at surprising moments to the POV of the bad guys, and with fine but low-grade intensity.
