Can an unexpected love affair survive a murder?

Ash McElroy finds herself hopelessly entwined with an incredibly talented and attractive flamenco dancer named Ramon. A million-dollar art heist in the Santa Fe mansion the dancers are paid to keep festive ends in murder. And when Ramon’s fingerprints are found where they don’t belong, Ash must make a decision; trust him and run away with him or stay and watch him arrested. The pair run, aided by unexpected supporters!

Ash must unravel the truth, learn who actually committed murder, and trust Ramon when all clues point back to him. By the end, she’ll find herself torn and almost convinced that maybe he did do it after all… can their love survive until the truth is revealed?

FLAMENCO DANCERS

By CB McCarty

Flamenco Dancers opens with a New Mexican pulp attitude and continues through its mysterious murder tale full of Fiestas and flamenco. Santa Fe’s Canyon Road, the Plaza and northern New Mexico's surrounding ruins make for the perfect backdrop, and adding to the atmosphere is an accompanying CD. Forty-two Santa Fe musicians were taped by songwriter McCarty to make the soundtrack that complements his fictitious tale. Between a carefully crafted murder mystery, reminiscent of Tony Hillerman, and the smooth beats of artists like Jono Manson, Susan Holmes and Ruben Romero, Flamenco Dancers is a story to read, and hear, again and again.
