A dead cat nailed to a road sign heralds the little mining town of Desperation, a Nevada town that seems withered in the shade of a man-made mountain known as the China Pit. But it’s worse than that, much worse. Regulating the traffic there is Collie Entragian, an outsize uniformed madman who considers himself the only law west of the Pecos. God forbid you should be missing a license plate or find yourself with a flat tire.
Ships promptly in a corrugated mailer with book wrapped in both craft paper and multiple layers of bubble wrap.
