Synopsis
Bruised and bleeding stuntwoman Shay Waco and her eleven-year-old daughter have just survived a car crash and a sixty-foot drop through a nest of conifers. They enter a lone house for help and instead find a family sitting around a dinner table--with bullets in their heads.
Sheriff Tobin Bonner, an ex-DEA agent with past he'd like to forget, investigated. His son has a bullet lodged in his brain, a gift from drug dealers when he was two. Tobin delves into the case, only to receive photos of his boy, alone and vulnerable on his daily outings.
Tobin and Shay must now rely on each other to solve the murder in sunny Arizona, and if they slip up, it will be their children who pay the price.

About the Author
John Farris lives in Atlanta, Georgia. He is the author of the classic thrillers Dragonfly, Soon She Will Be Gone, The Fury, and The Fury and the Terror.
From Kirkus Reviews
Like Dean Koontz, suspense novelist Farris (Soon She Will Be Gone, 1997, etc.) once again seems to possess a knowledge of the physical world denied to most people. No shade of light, level of heat or cold, tree, plant, type of car, gun, creature, illness, aspect of anatomy, mode of any human activity, including cooking or murder, escapes his eye or handiness to name. The solar eclipse in the title here refers to murders in Solar County, California, all turning on drugs and money. Shay Waco, divorced mother of 11-year-old Pepper, is a stunt double for Demi Moore, as well as other actresses, and over the years has learned how to take immense falls without injury. Returning from a job and some gambling in Las Vegas, Shay and Pepper go astray in a storm and find themselves near a dam. Their Chevy sports utility vehicle is rammed off the road by a pickup, falls down a 60-degree slope, and lands for a moment on a weak tree. Shay and Pepper see the pickups driver now pushing a backhoe toward them, so they take a 70-foot freefall through black rain. Entering a nearby house to use the phone, Shay finds the entire Sinaloa family murdered at their kitchen table. The murderer, whose drug deals were being monitored by Sinaloa's eavesdropping skills, turns out to be Shay and Peppers mysterious assailant: he wanted no witnesses who could identify his truck. Soon Shay and Sheriff Tobin Bonner find themselves bound into a cat's-cradle of death and deception. Farris at his smoothest. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
