It's not in Spain, or Mexico, and it's not a ski town in the Colorado Rockies, although Durangos do exist in all of those places. This Durango has an industry, albeit a rather odd one-it is a hideout business, a place where people pay to find sanctuary from former friends and associates who are either trying to kill them, or have them killed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInto this Durango comes a former chief justice of a state supreme court, followed by son-in-law Kelly Vines to act as his emissary to the beautiful and savvy mayor. Following them come a false priest, and a run of murders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt takes a Ross Thomas to stir these characters into a witty and ingenious mix readers will not be able to- -and certainly would not want to--resist.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoss Thomas\u003c\/b\u003e is ranked as one of the very top thriller writers by his fellow authors, and his readers loudly agree. Two Edgar Awards, and other prizes, only complement the abundant praise that Thomas has received. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThomas died in 1995, and since then all but one of his twenty-five novels had gone out of print. This should never have happened to the man of whom \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e has said Very few...are as consistently entertaining...even fewer can match him for style and power. Minotaur is proud to remedy this situation by reissuing Thomas's novels.
