Author of the Richard and Judy Summer Book Club choice Hunting Unicorns with an even better book. Set in the heat and the wilderness of the Arizona Desert, this mixes an unlikely bunch of characters together in a tale of love, loss, obsession and loyalty. It's unexpectedly warm and witty while depicting the tough life of illegal immigrants and the ruthlessness of those out to expose them. Highly recommended.
Comparisons: Leif Enger, Nicholas Evans, Thomas Eidson.
'To the south lies Mexico. To the North you can see the flat plains and snow tipped peaks of the Patagonia Mountains . . . and in between is a strange and wild landscape representing a freedom so great that for a long moment, I find it hard to breathe.'

But the mythic southwest has room for more than one fugitive.
