Nacho Perez is a retired Marine gunnery sergeant turned private eye. In this short story collection, his cases range from murder to extortion and other crimes. Even a simple vandalism case nearly gets him killed. The stories are "Badger Game," "San Antonio Blues," "In Search of El Dorado," and "Whiskey's for Drinking." As a bonus, the collection ends with a flash-fiction detective story set in a futuristic New York City. The outcome turns on Asimov's First Law of Robotics. Three of the five stories in the collection are prize winners. "Badger Game" won first place in the short-story category in the 2009 San Antonio Writers' Guild annual contest. "Whiskey's for Drinking" won second place in the short-story category in the 2014 San Antonio Writers' Guild annual contest. "The Butler Couldn't Have Done It" won first place in the flash-fiction category in the same contest.
