Description
The owner of a prestigious art gallery is found murdered in his gallery on Canyon Road, the artistic center of old Santa Fe. Turns out Sonny Davis had been shot several times by a pistol registered to Ruby Montez, who happens to be one of Detective Fernando Lopez's oldest and best friends. When Ruby calls Fernando from the downtown police station and asks him to find the real killer, Fernando launches an investigation into the sexual entanglements of the bawdy characters who surround Sonny. What he discovers confounds him. Not only has Ruby's gun exchanged hands multiple times, absolutely everyone associated with Sonny considers him a sexual predator and wishes him dead. Everyone wanted to kill Sonny Davis.
