Death of a Myth Maker, Texana Jones Mysteries

"The great strength of Martin's Texana Jones series, now in its fourth installment, remains the vivid depiction of the stark Chihuahuan Desert of Presidio County, Texas, with its vibrant Tex-Mex culture and the unique mentality of its fronterizo inhabitants." - Booklist

When trading post owner Texana Jones and her veterinarian husband Clay take refuge at the Paisano Hotel in Marfa, they again cross paths with danger. Texana is begged by a rancher to help a possible killer escape arrest. In this fourth in the borderland series, murder and its resolution play out amid the mixed Anglo and Hispanic culture of the trading post and the river. As usual the most convincing married pair in mystery are aided by a charming cast of eccentrics.
