Publisher's Synopsis
It's March in Terlingua and the weather is playing games-icy one day and warmish a few days later. But the weather is not the problem. The trouble begins with a Photoshopped picture of Deputy Ricos and Sheriff Ben that makes an innocent encounter look like something it's not. Someone is making a problem where none exists. Why? Mix in the brutal murder of quiet man "everyone likes," a young, green-eyed deputy trainee, a wealthy, mysterious newcomer to Alpine, a prostitute from Mexico, and a local ranch where it appears something "wrong" is happening. Then stir in a cast of characters you will swear you know, hillsides purplish with bluebonnets, and the never-changing/always changing mountains of South Brewster County. What you get is Deputy Ricos Tale 5, a book you can't put down. So find a comfortable place to read and come along for the adventure.
