A rattlesnake fang pegged in a teenager's eye is just the beginning of a spring day for Posadas Undersheriff Estelle Guzman. The injured lad's older brother goes missing, and is found dead in an arroyo, apparently killed by his cartwheeling ATV. But most puzzling is what the dead boy found moments before he was killed...an astonishing discovery that takes deputies back to a five year-old killing. Estelle and the now retired Bill Gastner find themselves looking for a murderer altogether too close to home.

      In Havill's entertaining 17th Posadas County mystery (after 2009's Red, Green, or Murder), retired undersheriff Bill Gastner helps current undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman and her crew make sense of the death of 18-year-old Freddy Romero, who apparently drove his ATV off the bank of an arroyo, and the skeletal remains of a homicide victim found in a remote cave. The discovery of a rare jaguar skull poses a different sort of challenge. Guzman makes the most of the laid-back Gastner's deep knowledge of Posadas County, N.Mex., history as she deal with such diverse and complex characters as ranchers Herb Torrance, Miles Waddell, and Gus Prescott. The consummate professionalism of the sheriff's department is a refreshing change in a genre that thrives on corruption and incompetence. The police combine insight and patience with technology to fit all the puzzle pieces together for a fully satisfying solution.
