The hitchhiker
rose to his knees on the side of the dark road. When Archer stopped the car and
got to him, he knew he was in for a ride – for this boy was dying of a gunshot
wound. In a matter of hours, Archer would be suspected by the law, hired by a
target-shooting trucking magnate, and propositioned by an adulterer’s wife. A
hijacked load of hootch and a band of sinners are on the loose in the hills and
desert around this nice Southern California town. So is this L.A. private eye,
who keeps getting blood on his hands…
