Series: Posadas County Mysteries

The rugged Cat Mesa country north of the village of Posadas is hosting

the first annual Posadas 100, a cycle-cross bicycle race that promises

to attract more than 140 competitors. Despite enough injuries during the

pre-race practice to promise a spectacular and dangerous race,

Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman has even more pressing concerns on her

mind. Someone has been using Jerry Turner's big Cessna 206 and then

returning it to its hangar at the Posadas airport. Did the airplane end

up in Mexico?

Estelle has worries at home as well. Facing his first

public piano recital, her prodigiously talented seven-year-old son is

stubbornly refusing to tell anyone what he plans to play, and it's

making everyone, including his music teacher, very nervous. The day of

the big race brings a tragedy that doesn't look like an accident, and as

the investigation continues, puzzling connections surface deep in

Mexico.

Reviews for Final Payment: A Posadas County Mystery

"""The action and suspense have been ratcheted up several notches here, but Havill's always-sensitive depictions of human relationships remain the backbone of the series. Successfully blending light and dark elements is the key for any crime author basing a series in ordinary life, and it looks as if Havill, by darkening the brew just a bit, has once again found the right shade."" - Booklist ""Havill takes the reader through an all-terrain investigation to an edge-of-your-seat finale."" - Publishers Weekly"
