Tracking Julie Stensvahl

Rudely awakened at 4:07 AM, John Henry Clay answered his cell phone. Julie Stensvahl, 15 year old daughter of his one-time friend Dub was missing in the 200,000 acre Mimbres Wilderness. Dub had been shot and was in critical condition in the Silver City Hospital. Not knowing if her daughter was alive or dead, Dub's ex-wife begged John Henry to find her.

Clay's effort to track her plays out against the backdrop of escalating drug wars and violence spilling over from the border areas of Mexico. The urgency of finding Julie increases dramatically as winter weather threatens, and John Henry discovers she is being tracked by someone else as well.

From Columbus, Deming, Silver City and the wilderness of New Mexico, readers will get a taste of the landscape and the folks who inhabit this area. The twists and turns of the story will keep you reading until the final page.
