- Summary:
- The Ballad of Rocky Ruiz introduces Luis Montez, an aging Chicano activist and attorney whose practice and personal life are on the rocks. Twenty years ago, a gang attacked Montez's former compatriots in the Chicano student movement and shot down their leader, Rocky Ruiz. Now the survivors are in danger. Enter Teresa Fuentes, a beautiful young lawyer determined to solve the mystery. To save his friends, Montez must reexamine the central event of their shared past -- the murder of Rocky Ruiz. Just as difficult, he finds, may be to untangle his feelings for Teresa Fuentes.
