In Barstow, California, a deteriorating city in the blistering Mojave desert, there’s a local saying . . .
The only direction the Interstate here takes you is: Out.
Yet, it’s the sole place where Beth McDade, a former LAPD detective who experienced a dramatic downfall, could secure another badge . . . and an opportunity for atonement.
More than a hundred years prior, and just a few miles deeper into the desolate terrain, a desperate outsider found himself in Calico, a floundering mining town, also in search of a fresh start.
His destiny, all those decades ago, and hers now are intertwined when Beth probes into an ancient skeleton unearthed from a shallow, sandy burial site . . . and also attempts to identify a homeless man hit by an inattentive motorhome driver amidst a thunderstorm.
Each unsettling clue she uncovers, each startling revelation she encounters, compels Beth to face her own troubled history—and a history that isn’t hers—until it all converges in a disclosure that could alter the world.
I’ve just finished reading Calico by @LeeGoldberg. This is one of the best stories I have ever read. In addition to being a top rate detective story(Goldberg’s forte), it is also a Western and a sci-fi novel. I cannot come up with enough superlatives to describe it.
