In the dry and dusty heat of Texas this novel seems destined to end in tragedy and despair from the first moment. Heartfelt the characters transcend nothing but provide a rare glimpse into raw emotion and give readers a dramatic insightful and violent view of what life is like for two young men-- one of Mexican decent and the other half Comanche Indian --without limits laws or love in the 1850s. Running a feverish course to a bitter end one lawman with heartache of his own must stop them if he can.
