Death in the Land of Enchantment

Patrol Officer Louise Sanchez knows the northern New Mexico roads well. But when she's asked to fill in for Detective Pascal Ruiz, who's awaiting trial, she finds herself in unfamiliar territory. During her first week on the job, high-powered and handsome attorney Webster Madison is found with a butcher knife in his heart. At the scene, Louise only discovers two pieces of evidence: twenty-one dollars in board game money and the photo of a woman from an online dating site. His autopsy detects a date-rape drug in his bloodwork. Against her better judgment, Sanchez seeks help from Ruiz, gathering information on his father's missing lady friend in return.

As Louise pursues three different women connected to Madison, she uncovers various secrets about his life along with a Native American pottery scandal-but the clues just don't add up. While following her intuition and blazing her own investigative trail, it soon becomes clear that she's way out of her league.
