Book Synopsis
Specters and apparitions roam the badlands of New Mexico, where the law was scarce but criminals were plenty.
Ruthless outlaws like Thomas "Black Jack" Ketchum and Billy the Kid met their end here but left a legend, and possibly vengeful spirits, behind. The worst prison riot in the United States occurred just outside of Santa Fe at the New Mexico State Penitentiary, and rumor has it that the abandoned complex is haunted by the horrors that occurred. In Taos, the graves of three suspected witches lie under a layer of cement to keep them from rising again.
Author Donna Blake Birchell explores the dark side of justice in the Land of Enchantment.
