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 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.

As many of you know I have a fascination with the “fork in the road” syndrome as it plays out in books and movies and this is a fine example of that. Three men, Sailor, former senator Willis Douglas and the cop, Mac converge on a New Mexico town during Fiesta. Sailor was Willis’s personal secretary, the senator’s wife was murdered in a robbery gone bad, but Sailor knows it was Willis who ordered her death. He has already been paid $500 to keep his mouth shut, but now wants and needs the thousand he was cheated out of before; and Mac is there to arrest whoever killed the senator’s wife.
I was particularly impressed with the atmosphere Hughes created; the sense of time, place and urgency against the background of the Fiesta. As has been noted by other reviewers, any reasonably well read person has to hear the voices of James M Cain, Patricia Highsmith, Hammett and Chandler in the gathering gloom.
This is a noir novel at its best, AND, with Stefan Rudnicki narrating, as has also been noted, we, the listeners, are provided, hour by hour, the pleasure of subtlety and nuance in the delineation of character, dialogue and prose by one of the best narrators in the industry. Five stars all around. Happy listening.

Throughout, the writing – from descriptions of landscapes and rooms to inner thoughts – is stunningly vivid and humanely perceptive. Though a familiar story of a crook at a moral crossroads, it is by no means pat or predictable. And Stefan Rudnicki’s performance is just about flawless.
