“Ages came and went in his sleeping, and in his own time and season, Vincent Roth awoke.”
For years, aging gunslinger Clive Marlow has been haunted by the death of the woman he loved. Now, a seemingly routine assignment offers him something far more dangerous than a bounty: a chance for revenge.
The terms are simple. Clive must deliver the outlaw Shelby Cuthbert to the town of Dell, dead or alive. To accomplish this task, he enlists his old friend Otis, a fellow veteran of the Indian Wars.
But between them and Dell lies the vast and treacherous Víbora Desert, a place of legend where ancient spirits are said to slip through the cracks of the world in the dead of night.
When Otis's young nephew Samuel follows the men into the desert, Clive's desperate pursuit of vengeance takes a terrifying turn. For something ancient has awakened in the wasteland, something that has spent centuries wearing the bodies of men and leaving death in its wake.
And Clive is willing to risk everything to destroy it—even the lives of those he holds dear.
Some evils cannot be killed. Some debts can never be repaid.
The Devil in the Desert is a dark, gritty supernatural Western about vengeance, innocence, and the terrible price of redemption.
