The Pain and The Sorrow (Novels of Old New Mexico)

At the foot of a lonely mountain pass between Taos and Elizabethtown, a single log cabin huddles under the pines. Travelers are invited inside to stop, rest, and eat.

But they should be careful how they look at the young woman who serves them. Her husband, Charles Kennedy, is subject to jealous rages.

At least, he says that's why he kills the unwary: It's all Gregoria's fault.

Based on a true story.
