Product Overview
Old prospector Jake Hand knows the Mojave Desert, and he knows people even better. When a frightened woman and her impatient companion are stranded along a lonely highway, Jake quickly senses that something is wrong. Armed with a sharp eye, a talent for outrageous lies, and a stubborn sense of justice, he steps into a dangerous domestic drama unfolding beneath the desert sun. Erle Stanley Gardner blends Western adventure, dry humor, and clever deception in this lively tale of a desert “rat” whose stories may prove more useful than the truth.
