Something Substantial: A novel by the author of JC's Last Chance and Coyote Stands

Jaclyn Ramsey returns to the small town of Upland, Arizona to exact retribution on her beautiful double-crossing partner, Sherri Denny, but only after she gets her hands on her share of their ill-gotten money. Jaclyn has also sworn vengeance by way of death against the Chief of Police of Upland, the man who turned Sherri against her. Town Marshal John Buckner orders his deputy Gilbert Ch vez to track Jaclyn down. Sherri becomes involved with Justin Putnam, a pro pool player in town to play in a documentary about the legendary J.C. Forkner that is being filmed at his Last Chance saloon. Rosie River, an excellent pool player in her own right, also in Upland to locate Jaclyn and Sherri, takes up with the women-sort of. Mayhem pursues, and Upland police officers try to solve a murder.
