"A wonderful and unique mixture of smart crime novel, a classy love story,. and a hard vision of the Southwest. I loved it from beginning to end." James Crumley
Jerri Johnson is a P.I. in San Antonio Texas, tracking down bail jumpers and serving subpoenas, when her old lover Vincent Fuentes is released from prison and tries to draft her into a plot to smuggle guns over the border. Her friend Joe Parr, an aging Texas Ranger haunted by the ghost of his dead wife, tries his best to keep Jerri out of trouble, but he knows it's a losing proposition...and that this time, it might be a lot more than her heart that gets broken.
