The Beautiful Bones ― A Deputy Ricos Tale

Take one sharp, determined deputy and ask her to solve a mystery that has not been solved in thirty years. Stir in a disgruntled local chauvinist, a tourist who disappears while camping near Big Bend National Park, a sexy new waiter in Lajitas, a foray into the nightlife of a nearby Mexican town, a tall and handsome millionaire, a herd of wild pintos, a ferocious blizzard, a bloody one-car crash, and an abandoned mercury mining town. Sprinkle with the awe-inspiring scenery of the Big Bend area, starry desert nights, a little hawk-watching, and the drop-dead beauty of Wyoming. Mix it all together for a fast-paced read you won’t want to put down. Ms. Garcia has already shown herself to be a master of the whodunit, stay-up-all-night-reading genre. The Beautiful Bones is the second of the Deputy Ricos Tales series.
