Book Description
A devilishly plotted romp through a high-desert landscape peopled with raving sinners and unlikely saints…
Hard-drinking, whore-mongering businessman Royal Shane (who nonetheless regards himself as a born again Christian) is in trouble. Nevada road department engineers want to close a stretch of highway that fronts his gambling joint—a move that will cost him not only his beloved border casino but the licensed brothel he operates as a sideline. Things get uglier when the cops accuse him of murdering his right hand man, Teddy Waters, in a drunken rage. Is he innocent…or not? Shane isn't sure himself.
Meanwhile, young Philip Hansen is mysteriously drawn to one of Shane's prostitutes, a foul-mouthed beauty with Gypsy roots and a talent for deceiving men. Trouble is, he's already dating the woman of his dreams, who knows nothing of his unhealthy obsession. While Hansen's love triangle slides toward disaster, Shane develops a devious plan to relocate his casino on the prostitute's spread. But first he has to grab her land, and Hansen will find himself drawn up in a counter-plot to stop him. Things could get downright dangerous here, if these characters weren’t so comically inept.
Above all this high desert scenery (which, prudes be warned, includes some voyeuristic glimpses into brothel boudoirs) looms a mystery: Who killed Teddy Waters?
