Ebook: Rio Grande Fall

A PI with deep cultural roots in his native New Mexico, Sonny Baca is guided by his intuition and guardian spirit, the coyote & mdash;but is that enough to stop a cult leader & rsquo;s murderous rampage? The world-famous International Balloon Fiesta of Albuquerque is one of the city & rsquo;s most eagerly anticipated annual events and its biggest moneymaker. But when a woman plunges to her death from one of the balloons & mdash;foreshadowed by Sonny & rsquo;s vision of a body plummeting from the sky & mdash;Sonny & rsquo;s sure it & rsquo;s murder. The dead woman was the chief witness to testify against the cult implicated in the murder for hire of Sonny & rsquo;s cousin Gloria, whose death still haunts him. In addition to motive, Sonny finds means and opportunity: a homeless family who saw someone push Veronica Worthy out of the hot-air balloon. Worthy was one of the four wives of Raven, leader of the sun cult, and a dangerous, shamanlike criminal who & rsquo;s supposed to be dead. But the four black feathers found on the corpse are his calling card & mdash;clues to let Sonny know he & rsquo;s alive and kicking. And his murder spree isn & rsquo;t over. Led by his spirit guides, Sonny races to stop a vengeful madman and save the woman he loves.
