Slocum And the Diamond City Affair (9781101612118) (2012)
“The small village was a “high in the sky island.” It was much like the Chiricahuas and Mount Grant, where in the high altitude, they found a different climate than the lower desert country, cooler and filled with pines. A spring-fed stream had silver trout that darted for cover at the first shadow of a man walking by. There were small plots of land along the creek that the people irrigated for fruit trees and grape vineyards. Alfalfa and vegetable gardens adjoined the creek, where they saw one ...small aqueduct that took water uphill to irrigate some higher land.
Slocum stopped at the cantina in the village. Rosa introduced him to Paulo, the bartender, who reached over the bar and kissed her on the cheek. “Good to see you, my darling,” he said in Spanish.
“Good to be home, Paulo. We are looking for some stolen racehorses.”
He shook his head. “I have not seen them, but they could be at Pico’s. He handles some horse deals that are not always right, huh?”MoreLess
