Before the sun has a chance to rise on the majesty of Big Bend country, sheriff's deputies Ricos and George are called to the Rio Grande near the Texas resort town of Lajitas, where there is an informal crossing point. A dead body has been found at the edge of the river on the U.S. side. Later that day, a severed foot is reported by fishermen farther upstream. Then there's a burning wreck, a series of break-ins, and a new truck is stolen. A large stash of cocaine is discovered. Then another. "Stereotypical Mexican drug dealers" are seen hanging out in the Ghost Town. A handsome special agent from the D.E.A. comes to town. The deputies are soon overwhelmed with the amount of crime taking place in their normally serene community. As Deputy Barney says to Deputy Margarita, "What in Lawman Hell?" Can these crimes possibly be related? Who is behind the millions of dollars worth of drugs? Where is the rest of the body belonging to the feet? Will Deputy Ricos ever date again? What's up with the break-ins? Who would steal a truck in such a small place? Why is Margarita accused of protecting a Vietnam veteran everyone else thinks is crazy and dangerous? How does she end up running for her life in a Mexican town? Come along for the ride and find out.
Author Biography
Elizabeth A. (Beth) Garcia has lived for more than thirty years in the Big Bend country of far west Texas. She has hiked, rafted, explored, and earned a living in this wild desert-mountain land near the Rio Grande, on the border of the United States and Mexico. It was experiencing the deep canyons, creosote-covered bajadas, and stark, jagged mountains; the wide-open spaces and dark, starry nights that eventually brought her to writing. Darker than Black is her fourth published novel and the third in the Deputy Ricos Tales series. One Bloody Shirt at a Time was the first, and The Beautiful Bones was her second. These are the first three of many Deputy Ricos tales. Beth is also working on several other novels, unrelated to Deputy Ricos. deputyricos@yahoo.com https: //www.facebook.com/ElizabethAGarciaAuthor www.deputyricos.com Visit www.deputyricos.com or Elizabeth A.
