Author Max Martinez once again finds murder and mayhem in the central Texas farm country featured in his tour-de-force White Leg. Here, a young, educated and hip Priscilla Arrabal had unwittingly become embroiled in a life threatening game of hide-and-seek with the police and an amoral killer. Her gradual awakening to her increasingly dangerous predicament makes for a suspenseful and surprise-filled read, one that regales readers with colorful characters, unexpected turns of plot and an unforgettable sampling of Texas back-country culture.

“Martinez keeps readers engaged and amused by his quirky portraits of the insular world of crime and justice in small-town Texas.”–Publishers Weekly
