Jackalope Ca$ino

Albuquerque adobe builder (and technically ex-con) Bob Wince is back! Readers met him in Richard Peck's Bravo Award-nominated Dead Pawn. In Jackalope Ca$ino, Wince - neck-deep in a pair of Albuquerque building projects - helps Leela Begay block the creation of a Las Vegas-owned casino in Window Rock, and works to prove that Buck Tsosie's not really Navajo but Tlaxcalan, descended from the Mexican Indians who built Santa Fe's San Miguel church. A very New Mexico story, Jackalope Ca$ino ricochets from Albuquerque to Santa Fe to Gallup to Las Vegas, from base-jumping to craps lessons, from burritos to prime rib, with Wince and his crew dodging bankruptcy, arrest warrants, and gunfire. And Bob Wince juggles them all, with mixed success.
