Love and Death in Tuscon — Hal Graff

Love and Death in Tuscon A Harold Gatewood Mystery Volume 11 Welcome to the eleventh exciting episode of the Harold Gatewood Mystery Series. After helping the CIO slow down the drug shipments from the Dominican Republic to America and Canada, Gatewood concentrates on his return to professional baseball. After signing to play ball with the Hayward Hummingbirds, near Tuscon, Arizona, Gatewood meets and falls in love with Sarah Belleza, a beautiful barrel-racing performer on the Women's Professional Rodeo circuit. Love blossoms and the two become inseparable. Gatewood joins forces with the CIO to fight the Mexican cartel leader Salvador Masas, the “Stinging Hornet”, who is smuggling drugs and illegal immigrants across the American border South of Tuscon. Old enemies, including Mateo Amon, the Mountain Produces and Carmelo cartels, the Durante Sicilan crime family, the TCPLM, the Venezuelan government of President Nazoa, and the AIO all want Gatewood's head on a platter. The AIO enacts Operation Go For Broke, and sends killer Theobaldo Gil to eliminate the ballplayer-turned spy. A surprise ending changes Gatewood's plans and his life forever.
