Concho Ten-Wolves is a Texas Ranger working the Rio Grande border with Mexico. His mother was a full-blood member of the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas; he lives on the Reservation outside Eagle Pass. On a quiet morning, the Ranger rides to the river seeking a little peace. He attracts bullets instead as he breaks up a smuggling operation bringing in counterfeit money and black-market organs. Although the shipment originated in Mexico, Concho is convinced someone on the reservation is behind it, someone he knows. They're hiding in plain sight and willing to kill to keep from being discovered. But that isn't all. Among the bags of fake money and the chests of illegal human organs, are the mummified remains of a small child who died under mysterious circumstances. Concho won't rest until he knows why...
