Perfect Opportunity

More about the book

The morning after his 87th birthday, former Posadas County sheriff Bill Gastner drives past a couple of vehicles stopped on the highway shoulder. It's not an unusual sight: a sheriff's patrol unit, emergency lights ablaze, pulled in behind a pickup truck. The female deputy hasn't radioed for backup. But there's something about the scene makes him feel uneasy. The next day, Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman is called to a disturbing roadside scene, with the same truck. But this time, its occupant's dead body is stabbed through the chest and a second corpse beside the car. What happened to the two men? And what were the dead man and the deputy discussing on the previous day?
