When an unidentified man is murdered in Tucson, reporter April Lennox asks private investigator Brinker to help her uncover the mystery man's story. Brinker turns her down. April vanishes into Mexico, alone.    Brinker follows April's trail into a dangerous borderland of greed and corruption, pain and power, and a new attachment to a woman who seems ready to risk anything to be with him.    Like the critically acclaimed, Shamus Award-nominated LOVERS CROSSING, the second Brinker novel promises fast-moving suspense, intriguing characters, and a timely, unsparing view of the border underworld.
