Desert Cut
A Lena Jones Mystery

While scouting locations for a film documentary on Arizonas Apache wars, private investigator Lena Jones and Oscarwinning director Warren Quinn discover the mutilated body of a young girl. The gruesome manner of the childs death evokes memories of Lenas own rough childhood. Clashing with the local law, Lenas investigation uncovers a small town with a big secret. Los Perdidos is not the Eden it at first appears. Founded by the descendants of pioneers who fought Geronimo, it now holds a significant population of documented foreignborn residents who live and work in the towns modern plant. Then two more girls disappear from Los Perdidos, and as the death toll mounts, Lena is tempted to implement some frontier justice of her own.
