In August 1914, recently orphaned Cooper Harrison arrives in El
Paso to live with grandparents she's never met. The minute the
fifteen-year-old steps off the train, everything seems wrong. The
heat is stifling, her grandfather Luther is cold and appraising
and, worse, doesn't even mention the recent loss of both parents.
Her grandmother, Angelica, is remote and child-like and wears only
black and diamonds. When Cooper asked to come live with her
grandparents, she wanted to help in the family antique business and
soon shows her aptitude for the field. But, she discovers that
Luther not only runs a shady concern but also profits from the
Mexican Revolution smuggling arms across the border. Luther leaves
for Mexico with a wagonload of bullets hidden in sacks of corn and
is kidnapped by Pancho Villa's men. Cooper realizes she's the only
one to carry the ransom to Villa's camp. She meets a Hollywood
actor and cameraman - in El Paso to film Villa's life - and
convinces them to join her in the attempt to rescue her
grandfather. The ensuing adventure takes the reader on wild ride
deep into the Mexican countryside.
