Artist Devon Frost settles in the remote Southwest village of Tinaja seeking to paint the perfect landscape to fulfill himself. Yet his ambition fades when he meets the lovely yet remote Petra Reynosa of Rancho Agua Prieta, the dark water ranch. While strolling with her near the shining, black pool, he hears of the smoldering resentment she holds against Don Felipe Reynosa, her foster father, for his domineering control of her personal life. When one of Petra’s secret suitors is murdered near the ranch, questions spiral up like disturbed ravens while a second admirer of hers is blamed. Abandoning all thoughts of a painted masterpiece, Devon doggedly fights both sheriff and town to bring an unknown killer to justice while death waits nearby on a dark horse. Precise, with not a word wasted, John D. Nesbitt hits the trail of Western action that never halts until the last word!
