John Stewart's got to get to Vegas to settle a gambling debt. Or else. When his '64 Mustang breaks down in the middle of the empty Nevada desert, Stewart rolls into the tiny town of Sierra. Where he finds . . . nothing. A gas station whose former owner is lying low in the cemetery. A strip of barren, dust-blown shop fronts. A truck stop cafe with more flies than customers. He needs out.
Then in walks Grace, a seductive knockout who can read fortunes in faces. During the next twenty-four hours, Stewart becomes ensnared in a web of dirty double-crosses, cold propositions and desperate souls - deadly ground where murder is just one gasp away.
Originally published under the title 'Stray Dogs', 'U-Turn' is his first novel and is now a major movie directed by Oliver Stone.
