Publisher Description
Spotted Pony Casino Mystery, Book 1
Missing surveillance video
Wanted fugitives
A body in a laundry chute…
Dela Alvaro is a disabled veteran who grew up on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation. When an IED in Iraq ended her military career, she came home to reassess her life and landed a job in security at the Indian run casino on the reservation.
Not even a year into being the assistant to the head of security, Dela is promoted on a trial basis. When one of the casino employees is found stabbed and stuffed in a laundry chute, she knows she can kiss head of security good-bye if she doesn't find the killer before the media gets hold of the story.
While she is in over her head, she can't decide if the FBI Special Agent called in to help is a blessing or a curse. It's a man she ran across in Iraq who overrode her authority. When a second casino employee is killed, Dela has to decide if she can trust the special agent with not only keeping her job but keeping the rest of the casino employees safe.
Customer Reviews
Dogged determination
Dela Alvaro truly deserves to be the Head of Security at the Spotted Pony Casino. She continues to pursue leads and ideas until she gets answers. Plus, she seems to have the support of those who work for her. Author Paty Jager does a GREAT job highlighting the inner workings of a Casino and the area around Pendleton, OR. Now, the question is; will anything develop into a relationship with FBI Special Agent Pierce ?? Great beginning to what I hope is an entertaining series of books.
