Look Past Today — Dave P. Fisher

The sudden murder of Don Sebastian Ruiz by outlaws places his son Pablo as the patrón of the vast Ruiz hacienda. Jean and Catharine, along with Henry and his family, make the trip to Taos to attend the Don's funeral and assist Pablo. Their first order of business is to bury Sebastian, the second to hunt down his killers. A problem arises when Sebastian's lack of a will puts ownership of the hacienda in limbo as the US Government does not recognize Pablo's inheritance. Together, they face the challenge of legally securing the property for Pablo and future generations. Meanwhile, in Fort Collins, a chance glimpse on the street places Jennie at risk when a former enforcer for Madame Min recognizes her and decides to exact his ‘lost payment' for failing to locate her and return her to Min's.
