About this ebook
In this Mexico-set mystery with "excellent atmosphere" featuring a sheriff and an amateur sleuth, a bullfighter is dead—but was the killer man or beast ( Kirkus Reviews)?
In Matamoras, Mexico, the last trumpet has sounded in the bullring, but this time it's not the bull who's died. Carlos Campos has been fatally gored. But soon a shocking discovery is made: the apparent accident is actually a murder . . .
To solve the case, former US Customs agent and Texas citrus farmer Hugh Rennert will team up with Sheriff Peter Bounty to identify a motive and a suspect. And there's no time to lose as the killer hasn't limited himself to a single victim . . .
"You won't go wrong in giving Todd Downing a try." —Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
