Brown-On-Brown marks the return of Manuel Ramos's character, Luis M'ntez. A Denver defense attorney who is always just one step ahead of his creditors and not too particular about the cases he takes on, M'ntez'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.
