The LONG FALL

In sun-baked Phoenix Arizona this never-predictable tale tosses into its antic mix a dead father his two sons--one a small-time ex-con with a consistent genius for sabotaging his own best interests the other a straight uptight solid citizen with a moneymaking chain of dry-cleaning stores and a restive ex-stewardess of a wife named Evelyn.. Recently released from prison for possession of a truckload of black-market saguaro cacti - and in deep debt to an unforgiving crank dealer Jimmy Coates returns home only to discover that his brother has cut him out of his inheritance. A not-unjustifiable desire to settle old scores and new sends Jimmy on a robbery spree that wipes out four of his brothers dry-cleaning establishments. But when he finds himself tumbling for a mutinously sexy Evelyn the impulse to vengeance reverses itself.. Unwittingly however Jimmy has already set in motion a series of dangerous consequences - adultery blackmail love betrayal - that culminate in a blueprint for murder. And it could be Jimmy himself who is taking the long fall.
