Hoping the adventure of a raft trip in Big Bend National Park will lift her spirits, Paul takes Anna to southwest Texas. Instead of the soul-soothing experience they'd longed for, the couple finds a pregnant woman--more dead than alive--and soon they are sucked into a labyrinth of intrigue that leads from the Mexican desert to the steps of the Governor's Mansion in Austin.

Left Me Wanting More submitted by jaseagraves on August 18, 2011, 7:37pm Barr beautifully describes the majesty of the Rio Grande through the eyes of Anna Pigeon. I liked the story line about the rafting trip better than the one about the Texas gubanatorial race and thought the characters of the young people were better developed and more believable than the ambitious candidate and her security staff. I thought it took too long for the two story lines to come together, and that the resolution was too abrupt in the end. The subject of undocumented aliens and the U.S. border with Mexico was well handled and timely.
