Murder Spoken Here
(Se Habla Murder)

Roberto McGraw is looking forward to a week of relaxing on the beach in San Felipe, replenishing his energies by the Sea of Cortez, and ravishing the luscious Lydia, shapely blond lying next to him on the towel. Spade, his all-black Great Dane, tries to ignore his master's infatuation while Santi, Chief of Police, disrupts his plans by enlisting Roberto's aid in translating for two American women who are involved in a murder. In Mexico you are guilty until proven innocent and Rob can't resist coming to their aid. One of the Americans, Jessica O'Grady, turns out to be not only a PI but a licensed pilot. The two instantly clash, each trying to dominate the investigation. Spade on the other hand is in love. Lydia, who has no such compassion, demands he fly her home, even in the face of a strong Northerly that has blown into the area. Weather, drugs and DRE agents, spiced with Jessie's flaming temper, turn the investigation into a sizzling pot of hot chile that erupts into a boat chase and an airplane emergency.
