Although his work is technically illegal, Hubie Schuze has no qualms with digging up ancient Native American artifacts. The government calls him a thief but Hubie thinks of himself as a treasure hunter - and his latest quest could be his last. After lowering himself into a cave in search of Anasazi pottery, Hubie uncovers a long dead corpse, buried where the Anasazi would never have left a body. As he puzzles over this discovery, he hears a chilling sound: his truck left behind on the cliff face, being driven away. Stranded in the cave, the pot thief has only a corpse to keep him company.
After a narrow escape, Hubie returns with his best friend, Susannah, to try to identify the dead man. What they find instead is a mystery that takes them back not to the days before Columbus, but to the Wild West of Billy the Kid.

I think it was the unusual title that attracted me to this one. There wasn't that great a plot with regards to the murder but I was interested in and certainly learned more about the area the book was set in though how they manage to eat such hot spicy food in those really hot temperatures I don't know. I hadn't realised it was a series but I might read more to find out if the outstanding issues regarding Hubie's love life get resolved.
