I can see why people might like it better than I did, but I didn't relate to the characters. It's wasn't a bad book, just not for me.

Synopsis: a riot breaks out in Tucson after a basketball game and a man is shot. No ID. April Lennox, a reporter, turns to PI Brinker for help.

#2 in the Roscoe Brinker series. Excellent thriller tying a murder after a UofA basketball game to a series of murders of workers at maquiladoras in Nogales across the border from Tucson. Without #1 Lovers Crossing (2003) the relationship between Brinker and Dolores seems disconnected.

Roscoe Brinker series - Refusing to accompany an idealistic reporter into Mexico to cover a story, private investigator Brinker becomes involved when the reporter is murdered, a case for which he infiltrates a corrupt underworld with ties on both sides of the border.

This was a good book, I liked it because it talked a lot about the city I live in. They mention the U of A basketball team, alot of our city and streets, the Mission and back forth between Tucson, Nogales and California so I liked it!!
