The Bisti Business (Volume 2)

What’s a little murder between relatives? When a phone call from a Napa Valley wine mogul sends B.J. Vinson all over northern New Mexico in pursuit of an orange Porsche Boxster in the possession of his client’s son, Lando A;fano, and Lando’s gay lover, Dana Norville, the hunt for a classic car suddenly becomes a frantic race against time to find two missing young men being shadowed by a mysterious stranger. After B.J. watches the car plunge over the rim of the Rio Grande Gorge and fall 650 feet into the river below, he must follow a trail as twisted as the empty wreckage to a Navajo Reservation where some of Lando’s personal belongings show up without explanation. The discovery of a body in the Bisti Badlands, the De-Na-Zin Wilderness area at the base of an eerie hoodoo is written off by the County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI as a drug buy gone wrong. But B.J. isn’t so sure. To him, it looks as if the problem had its genesis in Napa Valley. Then Lando’s older brother shows up to help, and B.J. realizes that while blood may be thicker than water, more will be spilled if he doesn’t find Lando before a clever and desperate murderer severs the Alfano family’s ties for good.
