In the Lion's Mouth
A fast-paced crime thriller set on the roads of southern Texas. . .and the mystery of an historic icon that is key to unlocking the truth.
When Carrie Jo Murray and her boyfriend get their R.V. stuck in the sands of Boca Chica Beach, a seemingly easy-going local, Leo, comes to their rescue. But after midnight, a wounded and far more intense Leo returns, now hunted by killers. Gun in hand, he forces the couple to help him escape.
Once they're back on the road, the danger--and number of enemies--grows. Not only is Leo clueless as to why his Mexican business partners are suddenly trying to kill him, but Carrie is forced to sleuth through her own life to see why an equally dangerous woman with an eyepatch suddenly has trained a crosshair on her.
Leo and Carrie, tightly held In the Lion's Mouth, face a harrowing gauntlet of secrets stretching from Texas to the streets of Matamoros.
