Description

Book Synopsis
Private detective Jack Ross has been in the desert for six months when he is interrupted by a reporter. She needs Jack's help to solve a case involving two Las Vegas showgirls, one of whom was Jack's mother. He embarks on a quest to find out if her death was murder rather than accidental.

Trade Review
The style is as spare as the Nevada landscape, whose desert and mountains are nicely described. For readers who revel in noir mystery (and can match Jack's patience in ferreting out facts), Schopen's latest will satisfy."" —Publishers Weekly

“This is a brave and unusual book, more textured than most mysteries, more concerned with visions and myths than straightforward seek-and-solve.” —Booklist
