Star in the Meadow

The Seven Year Audit of 1784 brings new visitors to the Double Cross, a downtrodden accountant and his daughter, Catalina, who captivates the household with her storytelling. When Paloma and Catalina are kidnapped, Marco is frantic, but a lack of clues and his obligation to accompany Toshua to a meeting of Comanche tribes vital to the peace of the Spanish Colony of New Mexico prevent their immediate rescue.
