Nothing's Sure but Death in Texas!

Allie Armington is a bright, successful and self-reliant young Texas attorney coming up to the top of her game. But that independent streak just might be the death of her. Of course, she doesn't admit it until she's about thigh deep in a conspiracy involving cattle, oil and drugs... and the man she once thought she was going to marry until he ended up with her best friend.

Anacacho smiles at you, gently beckons, then sucks you in. And it's so subtle you don't even realize you're hooked until you try and put it down. It has terrific characters but the problem is, you never know which ones you can trust.

It's a good thing this is the first in a series of Allie Armington mysteries because once you meet her you're going to want more and more of her.

TEXAS CATTLE, OIL and DRUGS, OH MY!

Anacacho is the first book in a fascinating and engaging new mystery series, featuring a bright, feisty, young Texas attorney named Allie Armington. Anacacho is a finely crafted mystery that starts with a bang and rapidly evolves into a page turner and nail biter. Right from the start with a murder and conspiracy involving cattle, oil and drugs, Allie finds herself in the thick of things, and it nearly costs her life. In the tradition of Sue Grafton and Faye Kellerman, Louise Gaylord's premiere mystery novel is sure to please fans of exciting, plot-twists-and-turns mysteries. The characters are engaging, with an assortment of those we like and those we love to hate. The problem is, we don't really know who the good guys are until the end. And that's what makes it all the more fun.

"Anacacho pulls us, along with Assistant District Attorney Allie Armington, from the Grand Jury room in Houston to South Texas, big ranches with airstrips, cocaine, kidnapping and murder. Gaylord mixes the proper amount of suspense, love and excitement—enticing as the aroma of red chiles being blackened in a kitchen overlooking the Anacacho Mountains. A terrific novel.”
