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.
