Blood Under Nevada Skies: A Frank McIntosh Thriller
Detective Frank “Mac” McIntosh has spent his life chasing justice in Nevada’s unforgiving desert, where city lights glow like false promises against the Sierra Nevada mountains, and every shadow hides a secret.
At six-foot-two and built like a fighter, Mac has carved out a reputation for dragging truth into the light. But when a nineteen-year-old gets beat up in a bar and then vanishes, he stumbles onto a conspiracy soaked in blood money, betrayal, and corruption that reaches deep into his own department.
From smoky dive bars to muddy desert backroads, Mac is forced to rely on the fire of his heritage, Scottish resolve and Choctaw warrior spirit as the line between survival and justice blurs.
Because in Nevada, the courts don't always deliver justice. Sometimes, it's buried under politics and pressure. Out here, justice gets traded, bartered, or quietly smothered in back rooms where the powerful shake hands and the powerless disappear. So, when the system looks the other way and justice goes missing, men like Mac are the only ones left to drag it back into the neon light.

There are several repeating themes in Richardson's work, notably that of putting high-profile celebrities in mundane situations and photographing them using traditionally pedestrian methods, such as the use of an instant camera.
His work also explores ideas of sexuality, with many of the pieces featured in his books Kibosh and Terryworld depicting full-frontal nudity and both simulated and unsimulated sexual acts.
Initially, many of Richardson's subjects would be shot before a white background but he eventually expanded to other backdrops. He is also well known for posing with his subjects, often trading his trademark glasses with them so they may "pretend to be him" and vice versa.

“Blood Under Nevada Skies” is a thrilling ride-along with Detective Frank McIntosh, a Native American/Scottish cop doling out justice in the high desert of Reno, Nevada. The story grabs your attention right away as a young man who gets beat up in a bar and then kidnapped. A conspiracy unfolds involving corrupt politicians and cops and a bigger agenda that will effect the future of Frank’s hometown. The verbiage and narrative are gritty yet beautifully descriptive. It’s easy to get swept up in Frank’s neon soaked streets, dive bars, and commitment to justice. I hope there is another edition to continue the story coming soon!

Well, quite nice
Most books are just the tricky tacky of a San Jose tract house. This is the Winchester Mystery House. Just how do you keep producing this kind of prose for the entire book? Bravo
