Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman is always busy, but now more so than ever. The sheriff is still not completely recovered from his stay in the hospital, and she is recovering from a hospital stay herself. After a long day at work, Estelle is happy to clear off her desk and drive home where her beloved family waits. She hears her cell phone ringing as she pulls into the driveway. A truck has gone off the road and the driver's body found near the wreck. Back on the job, Estelle drives to the scene, where she finds more questions than answers. Was the truck's going over the hill really an accident? And why was there a single footprint on the man's body? An autopsy spurs further puzzles. The sixth in the Posadas County Mystery series.

A rich sense of character and place invigorates Havill’s sixth Posadas County, N.Mex., police procedural (after 2007’s Final Payment
). Anomalies that surface in the investigation of a fatal traffic accident concern under-sheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman, who’s also bothered by the feeling that someone, somehow is scamming her friends in a little village just north of the border. Meanwhile, a crowd of drunken teenagers provokes a young cop into carelessly discharging his pistol, and the presence of illegal immigrants flowing through the community is a constant distraction. If all this weren’t enough to frazzle Estelle, a journalist is arriving in town to do a story for A Woman’s World
magazine about how she balances professional and personal demands. Havill is especially good at showing how connecting facts depends on recognizing relationships within a family or a neighborhood. Arid, harshly beautiful Posadas County turns out to be full of captivating stories.
