House of the Fox
An art mystery set in California's Anza
By Cornelia Feye
Hikers find a body in the Canyon Sin Nombre in the Anza Borrego Desert on the border between Mexico and California. The victim’s brother identifies Ramon Matus, a Mexican-American conceptual artist.
Intriguing connections between the dead artist and several participants in a Winter Solstice retreat at the nearby Casa del Zorro desert resort raise questions. Can the key to the murder be found in Matus’ complex and powerful art, or in the U.S.-Mexico border conflict?
'By the time the hikers arrived, the birds had already found the body. Cornelia Feye's novel House of the Fox rolls through today's healines like a runaway train. Hop on beard. Hang on tight. It's a wild ride.' - G.M. Ford, Author of the Leo Waterman series.
