- Summary
- "Hard-luck attorney Luis Montez has hit the big time at last. He's successfully defended Jimmy Esch, the good-for-nothing son of a powerful Denver family, and Jimmy's attractive sister Lisa is, as they say, appreciative. But inside of twenty-four hours a cop rumoured to have received bribes from Montez takes a header off a mountain, and Jimmy is found butchered. Montez is the prime suspect. Lisa - his alibi - has conveniently disappeared. Down to his last cent, Montez jumps bail and heads for the barrios of San Diego. As he pursues the truths that will clear his name, Montez must confront the powerful force that is family."--BOOK JACKET.
