Publisher's Synopsis
It was to be a long-earned vacation for David Petrie and pretty wife Donna. A cross country tour from the St. Louis Arch to the bright lights of Las Vegas--and a final chance, perhaps, for cancer stricken daughter Pepsi to see the world. No airplanes, no trains...just a leisurely drive together where scenic beauty and unhurried back roads might bring them closer together, hold back time just a little. But unhurried roads sometimes lead to open deserts, merciless sun and a growing conviction in David's mind that he's somehow gotten his little family lost in the middle of nowhere. Until the rattling old windmill, wind-blown streets, dark storefronts and broken sidewalks announce the weather beaten desert hamlet...and the hooded glances and uneasy smiles of its strange denizens. Welcome to Clear Water, New Mexico. Now, just try to get out...
