Arizona Guy

Ted White didn't know he was an Arizona guy until someone called him a California guy. Ted, a high school band director comes to Ajo, Arizona to house-sit for his aunt and uncle, and to get far away from a broken engagement. But the relatives are missing, and no one in this small town seems to know where they are. To make matters worse, an unknown enemy sabotages Ted's every move as he works to unravel the puzzling mystery now facing him.

"The mystery is believable and the characters and their surroundings even more so. Ray Spitzer has our hometown down pat. He stirs humor into the story, adds the seasoning of a little natural history, and pulls off a very readable first novel. I hope the next in the series is out soon so I can find out what happens next to my fictional neighbors." --Gabrielle David, Ajo Copper News

"Spitzer delightfully depicts the wonderful friendships and occasional dangers of small town life along the border between the United States and Mexico. Spitzer's novel earns a well deserved place alongside other classics of the genre such as Robert Parker's Jesse Stone series." ~Rich Radford, Torrance Daily Breeze
