Come Dark: A Posadas County Mystery (Posadas County Mysteries)

Posadas County, New Mexico, is in the news.
NightZone, a mammoth astronomy theme park, is bringing in jobs, media, and such new infrastructure as a slick narrow-gauge railway to transport tourists from the village of Posadas to the tramway running up the mesa to the projectâ€™s site. And the Posadas High School girlsâ€™ volleyball team is on a hot winning streak, exciting everyone.
But more news, not good, breaks. Volleyball Coach Clint Scott has been found gunned-down in the girlsâ€™ shower room, the victim of four bullets, one fired nearly point blank into his heart. Dead for hours, killed soon after the end of last nightâ€™s game.
And, last night, a homegrown Banksy had tagged both one of the railway cars and a section of NightZoneâ€™s giant radio telescope dish. Then, apparently, this young artist began work on a section of wall outside the girlsâ€™ locker room at the high schoolâ€•a project that was clearlyâ€•dramaticallyâ€•interrupted.
With morning come two strange incidents. Stacie Willis Stewart, a former Posadas volleyball star, locks up her baby and Jack Russell terrier in her Volvo, walks away to local superstore The Spreeâ€•and disappears. A former teacher spots the child and dog before the heat can kill them. Deputy Tom Pasquale, in The Spreeâ€™s parking lot where heâ€™s spotted a suspicious Illinois plate on a Ford Fusion, watched it all. He then leads a fruitless search for her inside the store. No luckâ€•but he does score a man with an Elvis haircut and his wife when they return to the Ford with stories that donâ€™t add up.
The lead on the murder is Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman, whoâ€™s still able to call on the retired former sheriff, Bill Gastnerâ€•a good thing, for she is surprised by the arrival of her piano-prodigy son, Francisco, age 15, in a sleek Corvette driven some one thousand unchaperoned miles by an eighteen-year-old beauty, a cellist. Their goal: to join the one hundredth birthday celebration for Estelleâ€™s mother.
