Produktbeschreibung

As a newspaper reporter in San Antonio, Martin Gallagher's life has been predictable and mundane. But his routine existence suddenly explodes when his half sister Stella reveals that she is the secret leader of a Mexican revolutionary movement, and she desperately needs his help. Stella begs Martin to take a briefcase of secret documents to a certain destination in Mexico. Martin's loyalty to his sister overrides his better judgment: he agrees to make the delivery.

Plunged into a maelstrom of revolutionary conspiracies, Martin is soon on the run, scrambling across the border as he tries to out-maneuver competing intelligence agencies and shadowy figures who seem to have no loyalties at all. Just when he thinks he is safe, Martin discovers he is being stalked by a brutal and clever assassin known as Tony Sleep. Martin knows he won't be able to survive alone. Unfortunately, Stella may be the only one he can turn to-and she's in no position to help.

Autorenporträt

I'm a native Texan, and I spent my early years a few miles from the Mexican border in Starr County. Eventually my family moved to West Texas where I grew up in the oil fields and ranches of the Colorado River valley northwest of San Angelo. After graduating from North Texas State University and spending a year in graduate school (focusing on 19th century European literature), I moved to Austin in 1970 where my wife, Joyce, and I still live.

I took an editing job with a small regional press and spent the next decade knocking around in a variety of jobs, including running my own small publishing company for a few years, and editing books in the humanities for the University of Texas Press.

Finally, in 1980, I decided I couldn't wait any longer to try my hand at fiction. I decided to increase my odds of getting published by researching what kinds of fiction had the best chance of finding a publisher. Mystery novels rose to the top of my research results. I don't think I'd ever read a "mystery novel" at that time, but I immediately bought a representative collection of twenty-five popular, famous, and classic mystery novels, including British and European writers. After reading these, and many more, I realized that the "genre" encompassed a startling variety of work, everything from Mickey Spillane to Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Two years later I began my writing career by publishing two mystery novels in the same year. Though I began writing in the mystery/crime genre, the subject matter of the books always leaned into the psychological aspects of human nature. I eventually went on to write fiction in other areas, including thrillers with international settings dealing with national and private intelligence professions.

When I'm not writing, I spend most of my time in my library filled with books predominately in the areas of literature, history, religion and art. My other pleasure is gardening and landscape work where I live in the hilly streets of West Lake Hills (Austin). it's a great pleasure to watch things grow. Joyce and I now sit in the shade of trees that are forty feet tall that we planted when we first moved to this place over thirty-five years ago. That's a good thing.
