The streets in the Mile High City are still a mess following the blizzard that blew through recently, but attorney Luis Montez happily agrees to meet his client's attractive sister. Lisa Esch--and her extremely well-to-do parents--are pleased with his efforts, and she wants to thank him for helping her problematic brother Jimmy, an addict with a penchant for trouble. Montez is feeling good about the case too; the judge has recently granted his motion to suppress evidence in the traffic stop that led to Jimmy being charged with possession of a controlled substance. But after Montez spends a night with Lisa, his case goes south fast. The detective who arrested Jimmy Esch dies under mysterious circumstances; Jimmy is found dead, beaten to a pulp; and Lisa has disappeared, with Montez the last to see her. The cops believe he was in on a scheme with the dead lawman, and the lawyer suddenly finds himself in jail. A conviction for bribery--not to mention murder--would mean disbarment and the end of his legal career! As Montez struggles to prove his innocence, he must deal with several personal problems, including the hospitalization of his ailing father and the recent breakup with his girlfriend. The third installment in Ramos' Luis Montez Mystery series of five novels leads readers on a breathless chase through Colorado and west to California as the activist and attorney finds himself running from the law, desperate to figure out who set him up to take the fall for murder!
