First printing. The seventh novel in the award-winning series featuring police detective Tom Hickey - an unusual series in that the books were not written in chronological order. Set in 1936 "as destitute farmers from the Dust Bowl swarm into California, an old friend brings police detective Tom Hickey a manuscript, a clue to the mystery of his father Charlie's long ago disappearance. Tom lures the novelist B. Traven to a meeting on Catalina and accuses him of manuscript theft and homicide. Traven replies that the Sundance Kid, having escaped from his reputed death in Bolivia, killed Charlie. Tom crosses the desert to Tucson, tracking the person or ghost of the legendary outlaw. He meets a young Dust Bowl refugee intent on avenging the enslavement of his sister by an L.A. cop on temporary border duty in Yuma. Tom frees the sister, delivers the boys revenge, and becomes a fugitive, wanted for felony assault by the L.A.P.D., his now-former employer." 277 pp.
