Once again, Gideon's expert analysis turns things topsy-turvey; nothing is as the police had believed. Then, a cursory look at the skull of a Zapotec princess, 1,000 years old, in a local museum of curiosities produces similarly perplexing results. The 'she' is a 'he', the age of the skull is closer to thirty years than to a thousand, and the cause of death is ... murder. Gideon accompanies his wife, Julie, to the charming little Mexican village of Teotitlan del Valle in the state of Oaxaca, where Julie's expatriate relatives, the Gallaghers. operate a dude ranch resort. Up to his ears in forensic work at home, Gideon can use a break, and he looks forward to a week of leisure and touring. Teotitlan is an out-of-the-way weavers village, peaceful and virtually crime- and drug-free. What could go wrong?
