Dr. Joseph Gatch is a highly sought-after Forensic Scientist from Chicago, Illinois. Starting out on a new adventure, Dr. Gatch finds himself in the isolated small western town of Coveralls, New Mexico. Coveralls has an interesting past. However, nothing in Coveralls history compared to the murders in Diablo Arroyo. Dr. Gatch finds that he has been shanghaied into helping the local constabulary in the solving the murders. Along the way he meets the reclusive cowgirl, Ms. Margaret Beguine, which flames the embers of his youth. However, these embers must wait because Dr. Gatch once again finds that he is drawn into a new murder. This time the victim, John Doe, is found in Lucifer's Parlor on the Red Mountain Ranch; Ms. Beguine's ranch. It is not long before Dr. Gatch and friends must go off the grid as Dr. Gatch draws closer to the solution to the murder of John Doe. The closer Dr. Gatch gets to the solution, El Chupacabra moves in and threatens their safety.
