Product Description
Nevada is a place of infinite possibility. A man may vanish in the vast deserts, dusty towns, or glittering cities as easily as mirages form on the sun-baked playa or the neon-washed streets. Private detective Jack Ross is a native of this transient state, a man whose doubts about his profession lead him through the dim bars and gaudy casinos of Reno. In one of these, at three in the morning, he encounters a young hooker dressed in black-like a witch in a skin flick. She wants him to find her grandfather, who vanished into the desert after killing a man forty years ago. The search for Lawrence Parker leads Ross into the big silence of the desert, through the dim alleyways of Reno, to the doorstep of one of Nevada's most influential families. The flicker of changing identities, the shadow of blackmail, and the specter of sudden violence tail the P.I. as he traces a tangle of family ties to the big silence at its center.
