Fried Chicken Castañeda

It's January, 1929 and Prudence Bates is bored with her conventional middle-class life as a librarian at the Cleveland Public Library. She escapes by heading west to train as a Courier for the Fred Harvey Southwestern Indian Detours in Santa Fe, New Mexico. On board the California Limited from Chicago, she meets a charming Navajo school teacher, Jerry Begay. They feel an instant rapport, but he's going on to Gallup and points west, so it's a brief encounter between two strangers on a train.

During a week's stop in Las Vegas, New Mexico, she is befriended by Hotel Casta eda Harvey Girls Martha and Anne and desk clerk Clara. Shortly after she arrives, Tom, Martha's bootlegging brother, is found murdered. Is it because of his bootlegging activities? Or his amorous activities with Liz Kearney, daughter of the richest man in the area and rumored mob boss? And was that really Jerry Begay whom Prudence saw meeting with Tom in secret the day before he was murdered?
