About This Item
Used; Very Good. First Edition. Signed by Author. Dust Jacket protected by BroDart clear mylar cover.<br />With his debut novel, The Ballad of Rocky Ruiz, Manuel Ramos introduced mystery readers not only to his impressive talents as a writer, but also to a fascinating world of Chicano culture and history. In this sequel, Denver lawyer Luis Montez is getting his act together, reviving his career and steering clear of trouble. But when Felix "Gato" Guerrero, an old friend, asks for Luis's help, Luis finds himself in the middle of more than one mess: There's Felix's girlfriend's husband, a local crime lord with a nasty temper; there's his former father-in-law, who blames Felix for a family tragedy; and then there's Felix himself, blithely unaware of the dangers he faces. Luis's efforts to help take him from the barrio, bars, and courtrooms of Denver to the casinos of Central City, to the rural, traditional San Luis Valley of southern Colorado, and, finally, to the exuberant celebration of a fiesta in New Mexico. Colorful, dramatic, and richly textured, this is a worthy addition to a welcome new series. . 0. Stated First Edition. HARDCOVER.
