About the Book
Until that Thanksgiving the expatriates in Quinoa, Mexico were enjoying the sweet life— a danger-free existence. But suddenly things start spiraling out of control. A gracious, attractive hostess dies suddenly. Without proof, her closest friends suspect foul play. Others shrug: death happens. A private detective is hired to discover the truth. A retired psychologist struggles vainly to help. When three million dollars worth of heroin is discovered near the water purification system of a neighboring garage, the stakes are raised for all concerned. An innocent American, his attorney wife and a fourteen year old boy will lay claim to The Lost Fortune. Unexpectedly the Mexican Mafia become involved… what once was a sleepy, quaint village will never be the same…
