Prudence Bates finds bootleggers, murder, romance, and gourmet dining at the Casta? eda Hotel in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Bored with her conventional middle-class life, the 25-year-old librarian escapes Cleveland by heading west to train as a Courier for the Southwestern Indian Detours in Santa Fe. On board the train, she meets Navajo school teacher Jerry Begay. They feel an instant rapport, but he's going on to Gallup. In Las Vegas, she is befriended by Casta? eda Harvey Girls Martha and Anne and desk clerk Clara. Then Martha's brother, Tom, is found murdered. Is it because of his bootlegging activities? Or his amorous activities with Liz Kearney, daughter of the richest man in the area and rumored mob boss? And was that really Jerry Begay whom Prudence saw meeting with Tom in secret the day before he was killed?

After 20 years as a librarian and another 20 as a professor of library science and library historian, Suzanne is moving on to her third career as a novelist. She was inspired by an exhibit on the Couriers at El Tovar at the Grand Canyon and her research in women's history. When not writing, she can be found reading, baking, gardening, and binging t.v. westerns. She has lived and worked in Utah, Puerto Rico, Texas, Spain, New York City, and Los Angeles. She lives in Baton Rouge with her Australian husband and brown and white spotted rat terrier dogter.
