Villa Head — R.D. Brown

PANCHO VILLA'S DEAD...BUT THE GRINGOS ARE STILL IN HOT PURSUIT

Cheney Hazzard, private security agent of Brownsville, Texas, is the first to admit he has a weakness for female beauty. There's no other way to explain why on earth he's trying to track down Mexico's most elusive relic ... the head of Pancho Villa. This gruesome artifact, missing for half a century, holds the power of a holy grail among Mexico's masses.

Hazzard was lured into the job by the spicy perfumes of a long-stemmed Mexicali rose named Rita Madrid. This woman spells trouble--the kind that began with Eve and the apple. Before he can say cucaracha, he finds himself headhunting for a billionaire named Chess who controls his pawns from a fortified hacienda out among the mesquite.

But the evil that men do lives long after them. Especially in the case of Pancho Villa--his talking head might just set off another revolution. So Cheney Hazzard heads for the border. The salsa's getting hotter every second, and this time, he might just get burned.
