I liked the mixture of cultures and conflicts in this intriguing mystery. I highly recommend this new series and look forward to the next book.” From Amazon Reviews
A Thirst for Murder
Sheriff Ulysses Walker Series, Book Two
Book Two of the Sheriff Ulysses Walker series, A Thirst for Murder, finds Ulysses Walker up for re-election. He and his friend, Ray Pando of Picuris Pueblo, become entangled in a water war as they try to solve a series of murders related to New Mexico’s convoluted water law and violent history. They face a hidden opponent who is well-funded and politically connected and who enjoys killing.
"Another fascinating page-turner by C. R. Koons! I enjoyed learning more about Sheriff Walker and the culture, landscape, and people of Taos County, New Mexico. Ulysses solves the mystery while uncovering a 200-year history of greed and corruption related to water rights. The cast of characters kept me intrigued. A very satisfying book!" Nancy Devlin
