<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Former Posadas County Sheriff Bill Gastner, now a New Mexico Livestock Inspector, soon finds himself ferrying a broken cowpuncher in the back of his SUV, headed out to meet an ambulance.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Former Posadas County Sheriff Bill Gastner, now a New Mexico Livestock Inspector, is enjoying a day on Herb Torrance's ranch - soaking in the sun, counting a small herd of cattle, and thinking about meeting an old friend back in town for lunch. But suddenly a light breeze stirs the dust, a horse spooks, and Bill finds himself ferrying a broken cowpuncher in the back of his SUV, headed out to meet an ambulance.</p> <p>Moments later, Bill's day goes from bad to worse. He is summoned by undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman to investigate an unattended death. Too impatient to wait for Bill, his friend George Payton decided to eat lunch on his own. A couple of bites later, he collapsed - dead of an apparent heart attack. But something isn't right.</p> <p>Then the small herd of cattle Bill had just counted is found wandering down a county highway. But there's no sign of cowpuncher Pat Gabaldon or his boss' $40,000 truck and livestock trailer. Forced into two tangled investigations, Bill faces one of the most complex cases in his 35-year career.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Another highly entertaining entry (<i>The Fourth Time is Murder</i>, 2008, etc.) that shows those unruly New Mexicans doing what they do best.
