Rick Morales was born in the right place at the wrong time. His rigid moral code and yen for simplicity are better suited for the old west of one hundred and fifty years ago than the high-tech, politically correct world he inhabits. He has built a successful business by providing security services to the Government agencies and contractors along the Rio Grande corridor, but he still feels more comfortable on horseback in the New Mexico wilderness. His inner conflict is played out in the contrasting venues of the vast, uninhabited southwestern landscape and the bustling cities of Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

Mystery

Deo Volente Publishing

A young boy is dead, and his brother is in critical condition as a result of an environmental disaster. A toxic chemical was released into the pond they chose to launch their new sailboat. Is this a simple case of negligence with tragic results, or is there something more sinister involved? Rick Morales is asked to help his friend prove that he is innocent of the charge that his chemical plant caused the deadly spill. The investigation leads Rick and his devoted assistant, Yolanda, into a morass inhabited by state and federal regulators, environmental protestors, and political opportunists. It soon becomes apparent that many of those involved have motives that are in conflict with their stated green agenda. Rick Morales continues to be an anachronism in the modern world of high technology and political correctness. He would rather be on horseback in the New Mexico wilderness, and he still feels the emptiness left by the death of his wife, Carmelina. Yet he is driven to succeed by a compelling sense of personal responsibility.
