What you need to know before your trail
Jackson “Tres” Navarre and his enchilada-eating cat, Robert Johnson, pull intoSan Antonio and find nothing waiting but trouble. Ten years ago Navarre left town and the memory of his father’s murder behind him. Now he’s back, looking for answers.
It’s obvious Tres has stirred up a hornet’s nest of trouble. He should really get the hell out of Dodge before mob-style Texas justice catches up with him. The chances of staying alive looked better for the defenders of the Alamo….

Travel Guide
San Antonio and Alamo Heights
“Landmarks in downtown Alamo Heights had disappeared. The Montanio had sold off the 50- 50 bar, my father’s watering hole”
“Most of the local places like that, named after people I knew had been swallowed by faceless national chains.
The city was still a thousand kinds of green though, In every block the buildings were crowded by ancient live oak trees, huisaches and Texas laurels. It was the kind of rich green you see in most towns only right after a big rain.
There were none of the soft afternoon colors you get in San Francisco, no hills for shadows , no fog to airbrush the scenery for tourists on the Golden Gate. Here the light was honest – everything was sharply focused, outlined in heat. The sun kept its eye on the city until its very last moment on the horizon, looking at you as if to say : “Tomorrow I’m going to kick your ass”
