Minnie Crockwell, recreational vehicle enthusiast and traveler, having recently solved a murder in Tombstone, doesn't run screaming from southeastern Arizona. She opts to stay at Tombstone Tommy's RV Park for a little bit longer, determined to do some sightseeing.
The mystical Dragoon Mountains, historic hideout of the legendary Apache chief, Cochise, draw her in, and she sets out to explore Cochise Stronghold with her nineteenth century ghost companion, Peregrine Ebenezer (Ben) Alvord. But she makes it only about a mile into the canyon before she discovers a body floating in a deep well along the trail.
Minnie is getting used to death and mayhem, and this time, she doesn't run from trouble but forges ahead to discover who shot the victim with an arrow and dumped him in the well. Ben assures her he has seen no ghostly Apache warriors bent on protecting the stronghold from intruders, and Minnie knows she is looking for a real-live cold-blooded murderer.
Each story in the series can stand alone, but to avoid extensive repetition of the backstory, the books would be best read in order.
