Some people go crazy over old cars but who would kill over a Stutz Bearcat?  Was the antique car the motive for murder or was it something darker, more sinister?   Alonso Belen rides out on the case with old buddy Deputy Bob Pavlik.  An older woman who owns a small ranch is found dead in the driveway and it doesn't look like natural causes. 
  
Alonso is a desert rat and they know each other but remember the old saying familiarity breeds contempt.  Familiarity in this case brings in the idea of transient relationships that don't have to end in crash and burn but can help at the time.  Obsession and vengeance can lead to a barefoot walk in cholla at midnight.
