During Fiesta, three desperate men converge in a perilous New Mexico town
It takes four days for Sailor to travel to New Mexico by bus. He arrives broke, sweaty, and ready to get what's his. It's the annual Fiesta, and the locals burn an effigy of Zozobra so that their
troubles follow the mythical character into the fire. But for former senator Willis Douglass, trouble is just beginning.
Sailor was Willis' personal secretary when his wife died in an apparent robbery gone wrong. Only Sailor knows it was Willis who ordered her murder, and he's agreed to keep his mouth shut in
exchange for a little bit of cash. On Sailor's tail is a cop who wants the senator for more than a payoff. As Fiesta rages on, these three men will circle one another in a dance of death, as they
chase truth, money, and revenge.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Hughes is the master we keep turning to.” —Sara Paretsky, New York Times bestselling author
“In this excellent novel Dorothy Hughes has given us a sympathetic study of the development of a criminal.” —New York Times
“Nobody but Dorothy Hughes can cast suspense into such an uncanny spell, and she’s never done it better.” —San Francisco Chronicle
Dorothy B. Hughes (1904–1993) was a mystery author, award-winning poet, and literary critic. She published fourteen novels, the best known of which are In a Lonely Place and Ride
the Pink Horse. Both were made into successful films. Her work had a major influence on other mystery writers of the postwar era, and the movies they inspired remain among the most
respected of their genre. She was especially influential on the next two generations of female mystery writers. In the early 1950s, she largely stopped writing fiction, preferring to focus on
criticism. She reviewed mysteries for the Los Angeles Times, New York Herald Tribune, and other papers and earned an Edgar Award for Outstanding Mystery Criticism. In 1978
the Mystery Writers of America presented her with the Grand Master Award for literary achievement.
