About the Book

Vrai built a secluded cabin on Camp Bird Road, right outside of Ouray, Colorado. The Rookies were her inspiration to write, and her intention was to write her last novel.

 

When she was a journalist in Knoxville, she wrote horrifying stories about this one criminal, Alvarez, Vasquez. He had committed such evil crimes; he became Tennessee’s Most Wanted.

 

A female judge jailed him and was intending to send him to Brushy Mt. State Penitentiary, but he escaped from jail and first, hid in the Smokie Mts. After five years of laying low, his case was never mentioned nationwide. The FBI assumed he had returned to Mexico, but that was not the case. He walked and thumbed his way across the US to the Rockies.

 

The 937,000 acres surrounding Ouray, Colorado had over 2000 empty mines. He found one where he felt safe, and he could hide out. This went nicely for over ten years until Vrai met him eye to eye. He didn’t know who she was, but even with a wig on his head, she recognized that face. She almost panicked in front of him, but she held her cool.

 

Vrai was an outdoor person, so she had been known to wonder in the woods every time she came to Colorado. This always helped clear her mind. She went hiking one day up in the woods and ran across an old empty mine. It was a hideout for somebody because there was a fire pit, a pot, wood, and other materials. A person must be living there. Since she had discovered Vasquez, this could be his hide out.

 

Vrai became livid with anger after she had thought about the insane crimes he had committed, the rape of a five-year-old and the horrendous murder of the judge who wanted him to fry.

 

She had no intentions of letting Vasquez commit more horrible, unspeakable crimes, Just what is she going to do about him and him living right there up the mountain from her cabin.
