The setting is the major character of the novel and defines Texana Jones. It is true to South Texas and the people who live there. Very well done.

Fascinating...
For trading post owner Texana Jones, the Texas-Mexico border is home, a world apart ruled by the heat of the desert and the politics of two countries. But now, it's a personal nightmare of injustice and dread.
Her veterinarian husband, Clay, has been accused of murder. The victim, a controversial bureaucrat known as the river master, was the man in charge of the region's scant water supply. Grimly aware of Mexico's corrupt legal system, Texana knows that despite her proof that Clay was nowhere near the murder scene, she must find out who wants to frame him-and why. When another man is found dead, she thinks she knows. But in a land plagued by violence and dirty money, the truth is a poor man's losing game. And the only one Texana is willing to play.
