First edition. Limited edition of 350 numbered copies signed by the author. Fine copy issued without dust jacket. Slipcase. This is the story of three men caught up in a huge web of ambition, perversion and deceit. Danny Upshaw, a Sheriff's deputy stuck with a bunch of snuffs that nobody cares about; they're his chance to make his name as a cop. Mal Considine, DA's office brass, climbing on the Red Scare bandwagon to advance his own career. Buzz Meeks, bagman, ex-goon, and pimp for Howard Hughes, a man who fights communism for the money. All three have purchased tickets to a nightmare worse than their darkest dreams.
