MURDER AT THE MESA
ROADHOUSE
by Jere' Franco
When
Shea Chan, a young, pregnant widow, arrives in Mesa, Texas,
she encounters a town that is stunned by the recent murder
of a popular waitress at the Mesa Roadhouse. Although there
are plenty of suspects to go around, including all the restaurant
employees, the real problem is motive. Why would someone
come in to rob the restaurant and leave without the money
in the safe? To complicate matters, an elderly maid is attacked
and another waitress disappears. Is a psychotic transient
loose in the sleepy border town? Or is somebody within the
town after something involving the murdered waitress? Along
with police officer, David De Vargas, Shea unofficially snoops
while David officially investigates the murder. While the
widow is determined to discover the truth, the officer is
just as determined to protect her. Each chapter includes
Spanish translations and a regional recipe.
