<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Posadas County Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman investigates the beating of a middle school student and the disappearance of her neighbor, the county manager. Estelle suspects Carmen's suspension from school may have caused her to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Sheriff Estelle is called to teenager Carmen Acosta's home. When she arrives, Carmen's father, Freddie, is in police custody and an unconscious Carmen is on the way to the hospital "beat to a pulp." There has been a fight over a boy, but it is hard to believe that the also young Deena is responsible. Estelle has many other suspects to choose from, since the Acosta family holds the record for the number of domestic violence calls the police have received. The question is, which of the other four children or two parents is responsible? Or is it someone else entirely? <p/> Havill draws his readers into the life of this small border county in New Mexico. Estelle is not only an undersheriff, she is the mother of two delightful little boys, the wife of a warm and likeable surgeon, Mexican-American like herself, and the daughter of a wise old woman whose life has been spent south of the border. But the threats from Havill's fans would have been dire if he had dispensed with Billl Gastner, the dearly loved former sheriff. Bill may officially be retired, but he's quick to give Estelle the value of his experience when she needs it, and proud to have been chosen by the Guzman boys to be their surrogate <i>abuelo</i>--grandfather.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Homophobia, politics and perilous teenage rivalries make for an absorbing smalltown procedural, Havill's 12th novel in his Posadas County series." -<i>Publishers Weekly </i>on<i> Convenient Disposal</i> "Literate, lively, and sharply observed as ever.
