  • "Texas border country. A place of desolate beauty, ancient mystery and modern danger. Presidio County is home to Texana Jones, owner of a trading post, and her husband, the local vet. Still reeling from the murder of two close friends, random victims of the violent world of drug smuggling, Texana discovers the murdered body of reclusive Rhea Fair, a healing woman whose death is too easily dismissed as another casualty of the drug war. Texana won't accept this, and delves into the mystery. The key, she believes, is a missing woman in a rental car who'd come to see Rhea. Sitting through clues as fine as grains of desert sand, Texana uncovers the explosive link between Rhea, her murdered friends, and the killer."@en
  • "The owner of a trading post on the Mexican border, Texana Jones, investigates the murder of a healing woman of the Spanish-Indian culture. The sheriff blames the death on random violence by drug smugglers, but Texana finds that too pat and her investigation leads to a more original killer. A first novel."
  • "When Texana Jones, owner of the trading post on the border between Texas and Mexico, makes a routine delivery to the local healing woman and finds her dead, she investigates and finds a powerful motive for murder."
