This novel marks the return of Manuel Ramos's character, Luis Montez. A Denver defence attorney who is always just one step ahead of his creditors and not too particular about the cases he takes on, Montez's next client is Dominic Santos. Santos has been charged with torching the property of a powerful Anglo San Luis Valley rancher and causing the death of a hired hand. The backdrop of Brown-On-Brown is the ever-present Chicano/Anglo disputes over water rights in Colorado's San Luis Valley. Ramos effectively provides the Chicano perspective on water and land disputes while guiding the reader through a maze of multiple murders.
Manuel Ramos is an attorney in Denver and the author of four previous novels. Director of Advocacy for Colorado Legal Services, he also teaches in the Chicano Studies Department at Metropolitan State College, Denver.
""Brown-on-Brown" Yis? a riveting story blending social issues and mystery." "Luis Montez is back--let the rejoicing begin! . . "Brown-on-Brown" is certainly a welcome addition to Ramos' bibliography as Chicano lawyer and mature activist Luis Montez ages less than gracefully but fights on." "Ramos' ear for speech, English and Spanish, and his understanding of human relations make "Brown-on-Brown" a generally fast, pleasureable read." "Read YRamos? for his insider's look at the lives of Colorado Hispanics." "The author offers a gritty, genuine view of the working-class Southwest." "Read [Ramos] for his insider's look at the lives of Colorado Hispanics."
