Product Description

ONE-WOMAN POSSE

Part dirty-shirt cowgirl, part Apache, and part-time private eye, Arizona rancher Trade Ellis doesn’t have time to waste chasing down bad boys like Eddy Gallegos. And besides, finding the runaway teen in the middle of a blistering Tucson summer swarming with kids isn’t going to be easy.

But Trade’s doing it anyway. She’s doing it for Eddy’s grandmother–a friend of a friend–and because she has this thing about justice. She believes in it.

At first Trade figures Eddy is just a juvenile delinquent who broke out of a detention center with a couple of his compadres. But when her questions get answers the fragrance of cow pies, and one of his homeboys, a senator’s son, shows up dead, she realizes the barrio teen is actually running for his life.

Hot on his tail are a team of crooked cops, a suspicious homeless kid on a bike, and maybe an X-rated movie producer. For a yet-to-be-discovered reason, a dangerous race is on, leading Trade down a deadly path of violence and scandal. And from the looks of things, if the good guys finish last, they finish dead....

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Trade, January 30, 2002
By 
Liz (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crack Shot (Mass Market Paperback)
Browing is putting together a terrific series with this cowgirl/sleuth. I've read all of her books, and I eagerly wait for the new one each year. Tucson is handled perfectly. I've also heard Browning speak at Left Coast Crime and Bouchercon. She is a fascinating woman, as are her books. She and this series deserves wider recognition. Read Crack Shot as soon as you can.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Romp, February 6, 2003
This review is from: Crack Shot (Mass Market Paperback)
This enjoyable romp through Arizona introduces you to colorful characters as Browning tracks her way through drug-dealing territory and an Hispanic grandmother who refuses to give up on her jail-bound grandson. The protagonist, Trade Ellis, tells the story in a pleasant voice. She's a strong, vibrant character. I admired the ending of the novel because the action was credible rather than overdone: the details had been carefully set up along the way. I do think the novel was too long; we get too much of the protagonist having lunch, etc.

The transaction was very easy and the book looked fine.
But, the novel did not live up to my expectations.
Seller: Five stars, Book: Three stars.
