Landslide Dave Dougherty

The ultimate modern western! Landslide tells the story of four people caught up in events beyond their control in the El Paso - Las Cruces area of the American Southwest. Set in 1986, the events could have happened yesterday, so little have the issues and problems of the area changed. The characters include: Stuart Prescott, the king and patron of southern Doña Ana County, New MexicoMac Frazier, the hotheaded rancher and owner of the Bar-DMary Lou Frazier, the discontented wife of MacAimee Barnes, the Carolina sweetheart with a devastating secretTippy Gallagher, the beautiful consort to an Aztec godGuadalupe Garza, the teenager alone in world of slave traffickers. Living in an area between the US and Mexico, Anglos and Mexicans vie for dominance against a background of conflicting cultures, drugs, illegal alien traffic, chili cook-offs, and free-spirited western living. There are no heroes, only casualties and survivors.
