In the aftermath of a merciless sandstorm, Gus McIntyre and his companion Toots stumble upon a harrowing scene: an elderly man, bound to a tree, clinging to life by a thread. With his final breath, the mysterious stranger presses an enigmatic object into Gus's hands before succumbing to the harsh desert environment. The cryptic encounter ignites a perilous quest to unravel the old man's identity, the circumstances of his brutal restraint, and the significance of the cryptic gift—all while evading a ruthless gang steeped in corruption and violence, who will stop at nothing to claim the prize.

Better than the last

Although I'd have appreciated the info from our author at the beginning of the book rather than at the end I'm still grateful for it. San Angela bothered me all the way through.
I also believe some of the many small errors ( pummel for pommel, wrong pronouns) to be conversion errors because our author seems too intelligent to make ignorant errors.
The story is consistent and entertaining.
