“A powerful book in which grimness and lyricism fight to a draw.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
After the sudden death of both her parents, a runaway girl goes in search of her missing brother.
Three escaped convicts and a runaway girl search for a hidden fortune of stolen military payroll, while being pursued by a nationwide police manhunt, an enraged ex-husband, and a psychotic prison investigator bent on revenge.
The breathtaking odyssey of Paul Brett, from the 1960s gangland slums of California, into the darkest underbelly of a covert war, until his final one-way descent deep within the Dantean bowels of the Prison of Hell.
From tragic to comic and in-between, short stories exploring the zeitgeist, the spirit of our age, which was the late twentieth century.
