Death in Tahquitz Canyon Gene Moneymaker

Retired Judge Jonathan Gallagher had never seen anyone prettier than the little redhead asking for help in his law clinic that morning. Though he was 40 years older, he could hardly take his eyes off her. Her brutish husband had noticed his interest and friction was building between them. A former Green Beret of Black Irish descent with a Comanche grandmother in his bloodline, Judge Gallagher¡¯s judicial demeanor concealed a temper that had recently forced him to retire in disgrace from the bench. Now he wondered if a man of his age and tarnished reputation might have a chance with a woman like this. The answer to that question would take him down a path of extortion, child pornography, psychotic revenge, and death in Palm Springs¡¯ famous Tahquitz Canyon.
