"Whittington does some of the best sheer story-telling since the greatest days of the detective pulps."---NY Times. "Ric was a man on a mission, a tall, slender guy in his early thirties with a hunger in his face as old as the earth itself. There was a strength about him that was undeniable, a readiness set to explode. Ric was a man well-chosen for the job of saving someone's life, even if it cost him his own. New Mexico was the Last Chance stop on the road - for Ric, for Handsome, for Martin, for Peggy, and for Eve, especially for Eve."
