Mistrusted by the whites who run Caliche Bend and estranged from the Navajo, Harlan Two-Trees heads west to California--to freedom. But the Rio Grande's bloody baptism does not wash off so easily. From his berth aboard the gleaming Santa Fe railway, Harlan brims with the promise of a new life. But when a daring robbery maroons him in the desert, he is back in the world he knows--where death is king and justice comes from the smoking barrel of a gun. Now Harlan has a new goal...to stagger out of the desert alive.
