The ballad of Rocky Ruiz

"He's a believer. He's a survivor. And he's standing in a killer's way. In the sixties, Luis Montez fought for justice beside his compatriots in the Chicano student movement. But when their leader, Rocky Ruiz, was gunned down on the mesa by men in white robes, a part of the movement died forever. Now, twenty years later, Luis is a middle-aged Denver attorney nearing the end of his rope. His practice is on the skids; the bar association is out for his blood; and his ex-wife is pumping him for money he doesn't have. Into this bleak picture walks a beautiful young Latina lawyer with links to his activist days-and suddenly Rocky's death doesn't seem quite so far in the past, especially when the men who knew him best start being murdered, beaten up, and forced into hiding. For Luis, amidst the regrets, hope, and fresh blood, finding out why is not just a matter of survival-it's a matter of the soul."--BOOK COVER.
