The Desert Waits

The Desert Waits

"As sharp and prickly as a desert cactus. Thoroughly entertaining."<br />---Carol Davis Luce, author of NIGHT STALKER<br /><br />A woman answers a terrified cry for help...<br />A husband betrays his wife one last time...<br />The owner of an isolated hotel harbors a dangerous obsession...<br />A man succumbs to a fatal attraction...<br /><br />They are four strangers whose lives converge on a lonely stretch of Arizona desert...four strangers brought together by the brutal murder of a beautiful woman. Each of them has a secret. And all of them have a reason to be afraid.<br /><br />Now, someone else is going to die. For in the desert, under the merciless sun, there is no place to hide.<br /><br />* * * * *<br />Praise for J. Carson Black's DARK HORSE (writing as Margaret Falk)<br /><br />"Should put Margaret Falk in the Winner's Circle."<br />---Tony Hillerman<br /><br />"A terrific tale of murder and mayhem set on the quarter horse racing circuit in the American Southwest…Watch out, Dick Francis."<br />---J. A. Jance
