  “Is that what men want?”

  “Every man I’ve ever known.”

  “You’ve known quite a few, I guess.”

  “And you? Is your record all tidy and clean?”

  Rolly smiled at her again. She wasn’t stupid. “I guess I’d say I’ve made some mistakes.”

  “I don’t believe in mistakes.”

  “You’re pretty sure of yourself, aren’t you?”

  “I do what I want to do.”

  “I’ll give you that.”

  Alesis stood up, pulled her purse strap over her shoulder.

  “Well, goodbye,” she said.

  “Goodbye.”

  Rolly watched her leave. It was a beautiful sight.

  When the Border Field Park bird preserve is torn to shambles by eco-vandals, Rolly Waters is hired to follow the tracks left behind. Skeptical about nabbing the perpetrators, he begins his due diligence, crossing paths with border vigilantes, a tormented vaquero, and an aging rock groupie. A menacing house call from a scalpel-wielding orderly confounds Rolly’s case even further. When police detective Bonnie Hammond hands him a coroner’s report, he knows it’s turned deadly.

  Rolly Waters Returns!

  January 2016

  Rolly Waters has many reasons to regret going out for Mexican food at 2:30 in the morning. Not least because then he would never have met dance-club DJ Macy Starr – possibly the most infuriatingly unpredictable and secretive client he has ever taken on.

  Macy Starr wants Rolly to find out what happened to the young woman she knew as Aunt Betty, the woman who rescued her as a child and then disappeared without a trace. The only clue she has to go on is a curious one-stringed guitar.

  Rolly’s investigation leads to a weird world of alien-obsessed cults, a strange desert hideaway known as Slab City – and to a 20-year-old unsolved murder case. But how can he solve the mystery if he can’t even trust his own client?
