Author Description

Big Lizard, a dusty wide spot on a seldom traveled road on the Arizona-Mexico border suddenly becomes prosperous and transforms itself into a Western theme destination, but no one is sure where all the money is coming from, or rather those who know aren't talking while everyone else shares in the wealth by turning a blind eye and not asking any questions. The Feds obviously have an idea what's going on but after years they can't prove anything so they decide to use their clandestine court of last resort, The Outfit, to make a statement. The Outfit sends Bakoda Pak down during Hell Dorado Week to dispatch the mayor who appears to be benefiting most from the corruption, only to have his mission changed when the mayor and his wife are willing to give state's evidence in exchange for immunity, relocation and keeping their ill-gotten gain.
