Fiesta of Fear

A fall festival turns murderous in this haunting and wholly unforgettable sixth Black Horse Campground mystery from the author of A Summer to Remember. With a mix of Anglo, Native, and Hispanic cultures, the village of Bonney, New Mexico, has its share of folklore and legends, but no one has ever heard of the Ghost Girls before. Three high school girls have convinced their fellow students that they have powers, but now that they're graduating, new recruits are needed to carry on the tradition. One night, the Ghost Girls take a hopeful prospect to the cemetery, where they discover a missing kid and a recently-deceased man. The child is Mark Jr., the son of Corrie's best friend. And the corpse? The high school principal. Mark had been causing so much trouble at school that he'd been suspended, but Corrie can't believe he's a killer. As the village of Bonney gathers for the annual San Ignacio Fall Festival at the Black Horse Campground, Sheriff Rick Sutton and Det. J. D. Wilder uncover a web of bullying, hatred, and revenge in which nothing is sacred. Not the school. Not the church. And definitely not Corrie's campground . . .
