Things get a little blurred along the border...

Carl is a Yankee cop in a small Texas border town. Isabella is a beautiful Mexican woman that everyone in town loves, including the hapless Pete and the wealthy, powerful Jack Talbott... but most of all, Carl. He runs into different kinds of trouble in two separate stories, first with Pete and then with Jack.

The final story comes from a different perspective - lifelong La Sombra resident John Calhoun, who also runs afoul of the power structure in this small town.

In the Shadow of El Paso displays the gritty elements of a mystery/police procedural in these three short stories by River City author Frank Zafiro. All three stories explore justice, love, race, class and the ambiguity that exists along the southern border of the United States.
