Zia Summer (The Sonny Baca Novels)

A Chicano PI hunts his cousin’ “a compelling thriller [with] a deep- seated respect for the traditions of a people and a culture” (Booklist).

The great-grandson of a legendary lawman and gunfighter, thirty-year-old Sonny Baca hopes he possesses even a tenth of El Bisabuelo’s courage.

But instead of cleaning up New Mexico by hunting down dangerous desperadoes, the struggling PI looks for missing persons and deadbeat husbands.
