The Sweat Box

An engineer is called out to meet with a contractor about a new water project that will put eleven hundred new homes in San Bernardino; a woman and her son are found dead inside their home; a young teen is raped and left for dead; someone is bringing illegals over the border to break in horses. A host of unsavory acts ties a rancher in Texas to old farming money in California. In The Sweat Box, the third Dalton Keys mystery, US Marshal Keys wends his way through an entanglement of relationships to find a barn burner and killer.
