Jorge was the brother of the MacFarlane family's longtime fishing guide; Carla, the girlfriend of Frankie's brother, Jamie. But when the Tucson murder victims turn out to be Frankie's colleague and a favorite student, Frankie joins the hunt for the killers, bringing her geologist's eye and analytical skills to aid two old friends--sheriff's detective Toni Navarro and private investigator Philo Dane. As the search unfolds, Frankie ventures into an elite fringe world where the antiquities trade slips too easily into international money-laundering and far higher stakes. Skidding through so many twists and turns that even her "scars have scars," Frankie leads her readers on a heart-stopping and unforgettable chase.
