Summary
Across the Endless High Plains of Texas, Not All Wine Is Made the Same. For young lifeguard Bud Garza, the summer of 1994 in Lubbock had its perks. Even with his college studies, there was plenty of time leftover for beer, sports, and bar trivia with his Sigma fraternity buddies, not to mention the nonstop beautiful babes under the West Texas sun. The problem is, Bud has a thirsty mind—and empty pockets—so when offered the chance for a raise and to gain some real expertise as a tour guide at the local South Plains Cellars winery, he doesn’t think twice. Yet as timing would have it, Bud’s career shift will coincide with the disappearance of El Paso DEA Senior Special Agent Traegar Jackson, whose tracking of a suspicious Freightliner tanker truck across West Texas drew him close—but not close enough—to the doorsteps of South Plains Cellars. When fellow agent Brian Harris is put on the case to find Jackson, his and Bud’s paths fortuitously cross, and Bud is recruited to do his own reconnaissance, only to discover a much darker secret within the walls of the winery. As Bud gradually discovers the truth about what’s really happening at South Plains Cellars, he must put his wits—and his photographic memory—to the test. But he can’t do it alone, and he’s up against the biggest, baddest criminals both West Texas and Mexico have to offer.
