Treasure of the Brasada by Les Savage
"Treasure of the Brasada" by Les Savage, Jr. is a novel written in the late 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the wild Texas border country, focusing on the struggles of Glenn Crawford, a bronc-buster grappling with both physical pain from a near-fatal accident and the emotional turmoil surrounding the murder of Otis Rockland, a ranch owner. As Crawford seeks answers and revenge, he finds himself entangled witha mysterious woman, Merida Lopez, and a cast of colorful characters, while confronting his own fears and the dark secrets of the ranch. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Glenn Crawford as he navigates the complicated dynamics between himself, the law, and the criminal underworld following Rockland's murder. Crawford is plagued by debilitating pain whenever he approaches horses, a result of his past injury that he suspects was no accident. Desperate to regain control of his life and confront the murderer, Crawford returns to the ranch, where he is immediately met with hostility and suspicion from the ranch hands. As tensions mount, he becomes embroiled in a treasure hunt linked to historical treasures from General Santa Anna, intertwining themes of danger, intrigue, and the quest for redemption. The gripping opening sets the stage for a journey filled with heart-pounding action, emotional conflict, and a deep exploration of fear and courage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
