Synopsis

The misadventures of two curiously matched wayfarers as they race along old US 50, the loneliest highway across the nation, eluding thugs and murderers, but not their own obsession with each other. Who murdered the man in Betty Ruth Jordan's motel cabin? Who slashed all her clothing to shreds? Why? If she was innocent, why was a Colorado Detective following her across Utah and Nevada? Why were Chicago thugs pursuing her? Why was her mysterious Michael haunting them? Why did she keep crawling into his bed? Questions circled in Judge Hudson's head like hungry gnats. The most puzzling question of all: What was Judge Harold J. Hudson going to do about all this?

This novel is written for adult enjoyment. It is sensual, but not prurient; exciting yet not gross.

About this title

From the Author

Fifty/Fifty started as a simple adventure-a curious drive along the Lincoln Highway. The heroine had to be in trouble to justify a prudent man's rescue. The girl had to have some mystery to justify his continued interest. After that, as happens all too often, the Highway and the Girl captured the story, turning the adventure into a racy thriller. The planned holiday of Judge Harold J. Hudson became a chase across the western U.S., pursued by unknown antagonists. The Judge and his companion were forced to rely more and more on each other until the culmination of the misadventure became the culmination of the relationship.

From the Inside Flap

Not dead bodies, flying bullets or over-aggressive thugs can stop the career of Judge Harold J Hudson and his Jaguar across the Rocky Mountains to Lake Tahoe. The Judge was well content with his carefully ordered trip until he meets Betty Ruth Jordan on lonely US highway 50.

An imprudent act of charity sends him and his Jaguar racing across soaring mountains and burning deserts entangled in a web of deception and danger. The Judge spends his days trying to elude bullets, his nights trying to elude the young and ingenious child-woman determined to surrender her all to him whether he wants her all or not.

Their flight down lonely Highway 50 leaves them battered and bewildered, but no wiser than they started. Good guys, bad guys and several in-betweens litter the landscape as the Judge, Girl and the Jaguar fight their way from Dodge City to Carson City across the mountains of Colorado, through the high ranges of Utah and Nevada.
