About this title

Synopsis:

On one side of the border, a murder; on the other, a killer. In between stands Neil Hamel, a woman with a passion for the truth. ""Don't worry, Chiquita"" was the Kid's answer to almost everything, and right now Neil Hamel misses the Kid -- her part-time lover and car mechanic. Neil had gone to Mexico as a favour to a man she shouldn't be doing favours for, and what it got her was a face-to-face meeting with a corpse, a Mexican lawyer with a diamond pinky ring and a throat slit from ear to ear. Returning home to Albuquerque, Neil can't let go of the tangled scheme she has uncovered. Looking for the truth, she finds human predators.

Review:

"A well thought-out plot, with absolutely magical descriptions. . . Neil is a find." A well thought-out plot, with absolutely magical descriptions. . . Neil is a find. Van Gieson skillfully unravels the dark history of the high plateau and also introduces an intriguing crime-solver.
