Mystery
After a victorious game, the handsome coach for the girls’ high school volleyball team is murdered in the small village of Posadas, N.M. A young mother leaves her toddler and a puppy locked in a car and disappears, and a teenage graffiti artist (vandal?) is in the hospital after a serious car crash. Are these strange events all related? The case also involves a crime at the gigantic new astronomy theme park, Night Zone.
Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman calls on her mentor, retired sheriff Bill Gastner, for help. And she needs it. For on top of everything else, her 15-year-old son, a piano prodigy, arrives unannounced with an 18-year-old beauty that he has just driven over a thousand miles with alone.
