Bob Wince, an Albuquerque building contractor, is sentenced to the New Mexico State Penitentiary for a crime he didn't commit.

Associating himself with the minor crooks and major scammers who gather at his father's restaurant, Dimmie's HalfOff, Wince vows to reestablish his life and exact revenge on those who set him up originally. This means working the system, and, according to Richard Peck's Dead Pawn, that's what New Mexico is all about.From Albuquerque to Gallup, to the Navajo reservation and beyond, Peck introduces sleazy operators and hustlers in every line of work. It's a rich cast of charactersAnglos, Hispanics, Native Americanswho populate New Mexico's tangled subcultures. The priciest antique turquoise jewelry could have been made last week in Mahmad Khalil's Gallup factory; Maria Morales may be named Hispanic Businesswoman of the Year, but she's still Maria Losinsky, "Hispanic" only through a brief marriage to Ernie Morales.From the moment you begin Dead Pawn, its mordant humor and crisp language will change the way you see New Mexico, "the Land of Enchantment.""Richard Peck's Dead Pawn is a suspensefilled mystery that is hard to put down. The story is replete with Elmore Leonardlike characters whose quirky personalities make Peck's novel a real pageturner. Dead Pawn takes the reader deep into the New Mexico criminal and power broker subcultures, leaving the impression that the 'good guys' have no way out of a hopeless quagmireuntil the very end. I can't wait for the sequel."Joseph Badal, author of The Pythagorean Solution
