Ranger Grace Watanabe discovers fellow Ranger Erik (Red) Petersen's dead body tangled in the barbed wire at the Manzanar National Historic Site entrance. The local sheriff's department quickly decides the death is related to a Mexican cartel who use the nearby highway to smuggle drugs. Park Service Investigators Doug and Jill Fletcher look for a more obscure motive by focusing on other groups who might be unhappy with the Manzanar site. Finding no obvious suspects or motives, they step back and realize the victim was targeted for an entirely different reason.

Hovey's "Doug Fletcher Mysteries" since book one. Each mystery has a plot life of its own, and each of the characters plays their individual roles perfectly, so much so that the stars, Doug and Jill Fletcher (and Jamie Ballard in this book), become friends with the reader. My expectations have always been met in Hovey's mysteries…and I look forward to where the Fletcher's will be sent next and what will unfold is always a surprise.
