Magda is dead and Cinnamon and Burro are dragged into the murder by a client in Carlsbad and by the search for Momma. Watch out for the quirky Zookie, Magda's ex-lover, a missing deaf employee, and a caste of shady and confusing characters. ... #5 in the New Mexico mystery thriller series.

“Sarina
will help me out,” he mumbled at the glass. “Not like that old dried up witch, Magda. Piece of dung, she was, turning him

old jalapeño Pigs in a Blanket.
You love those, mijo. Come on.”
