House of the Fox: An art mystery set in California's Anza Borrego Desert

In California’s Anza Borrego Desert, a body is found in the Canyon Sin Nombre. The vicitim is identified as the artist Ramon Matus, whose death has far-reaching consequences for his parents, his brother Raoul , his girlfriend Lizzie, the Vega Stern family, the Southern California art community, and the inhabitants of the small town of Borrego Springs. A letter in the pocket of the dead man leads to Jerome Schlesinger, a self-help guru, who conducts a Winter Solstice retreat in the luxurious desert resort Casa del Zorro. Can the key to solve the mystery be found in Ramon Matus’ complex and powerful art or in the U.S.- Mexico border conflict caused by human and drug traffickers ?
