Enjoy Taos as it celebrates its sacred and secular festivals. It's murder. Ole! The warm portrait of New Mexico's Hispanic community recalls Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me Ultima (0-446-60025-3) or John Nichol's Milagro Beanfield War (0-345-41016-5). The Taos Festival mysteries continue with Las Fiestas! Christina Garcia y Grant's lovely old hacienda, converted from her grandmother's gracious abode to a B&B so that lawyer Christy can pursue a writing career, is bursting with guests. Not all of them are welcome. Meanwhile, the Friday night La Fiestacita summons la gente, the people. Though they have come to party, the presence of La Doqa Sebastiana, Death, is a reminder that life is only worth living if Death is close at hand. It's the edge, the risk, that gives color. La Doqa Sebastiana does summon someone to her death cart before the night is over, only the partygoers don't know it. Newcomer Evelyn Bottoms, a suave Englishman, is unaware that his gallery El Museo has been burglarized and Bobby Mascarenas killed. Missing is Cindy, Bobby's co-employee and the date of lawyer Ignacio Baca, who spends La Fiestacita looking vainly for her. The next morning reveals the grim story. Christy, moved by Iggy's grief and willing to help her new friend, Dr. Bottoms, queries her primo, Police Chief Garcia, and learns that her cousin has little to go on. Aided by her more-or-less permanent boarder (and suitor) Mac McCloud, a retired surgeon, and her old friend La Doqa Abogado, New Mexico's first woman lawyer, Christy queries the local arts community and learns that someone is stealing priceless art from local churches. Is there a link between the robberies and the murder? And there seemto be a lot of newcomers to town...

Fine in Fine jacket. Book. Signed by Author First edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. SIGNED and DATED April 2001, by the author on the title page. The 2nd book by New Mexico native Ulmer and features B&B owner Christina Garcia y Grant. "Author/lawyer/sleuth Christina Garcia y Grant tackles her second murder case, surrounded by familiar faces from Midnight at the Camposanto. Dr. Evelyn Bottoms, a charming newcomer to Taos (and self-proclaimed "recoverer" of local Spanish religious art) becomes a suspect when one of the employees at his gallery/museum is found murdered and another goes missing possibly with some sacred art. Christy defends Bottoms, whose attentions arouse jealousy in her tenant, Mac, who helps out at Christy's bed-and-breakfast hacienda. Exuberant descriptions of the changing indigenous culture, local characters, and New Mexico surroundings pervade an exciting plot."--Library Journal.
