Book Description:
Sasha Solomon is having a bad day. Fired from her job as PR director at an Albuquerque HMO, she is dealing with an ailing mother and trying to figure out the origins of hallucinations that include conversations with her cat.

Sasha heads for Clovis, a small town in southeastern New Mexico, to bid on a project for the Chamber of Commerce. While there, she checks in with her widowed friend Mae King. Mae, a local dairy farmer, is clearly out of sorts and shows Sasha the reason. There's a body in one of her stock tanks -- a Singaporean aviator stationed at Cannon Air Force Base. Who killed him and why? What was he doing on Mae's land? Why won't she go to the police?

Freshly unemployed New Mexico PR director Sasha Solomon travels to the tiny town of Clovis to bid on a hush-hush project aimed at competing with neighboring Roswell for the alien/UFO tourist dollar. Arriving in Clovis, Sasha stops by her old friend Mae King's cattle ranch-and discovers the body of a dead pilot from a nearby air force base floating in a water trough.
Mae, a true believer in the "visitors among us" theory, doesn't recognize the dead man...but does identify her diary and nightgown clutched in his stiff fingers. When the victim turns out to be a top foreign military officer. Sasha-contrary to Mae-things tis crime is quite earthly in origin. Unfortunately, Mae is now the prime suspect. Certain that the truth really is out there, Sasha butts heads with the locals, the law and Mae's vindictive relatives to unlock more than a few deadly secrets in Clovis.

An interesting read with a unique character, Sasha Solomon, who uses whipped cream as comfort food and helps solve a murder.

I very much like this book. I have lived in New Mexico for over 15 years and it's so cool reading a story about places I have heard of and can even picture in my head. I really enjoyed this mystery. Very clever. I will definitely read Belen Hitch by the same author.
