Description

"Waltz across Texas is the story of Sugar Campbell, who returns to his native state to take on a strange, dangerous job: "I didn't know whether I was being hired to keep a man alive or kill him. And I wasn't sure I liked it either way."" "The man in Sugar's sights is Tee Kitchens, the owner of a vast, debt-ridden ranch in West Texas. It sometimes seems as if everyone wants Kitchens dead - his wife, the oil establishment, Son Cunningham - everyone, that is, except the company that wrote show more Kitchens's six-million-dollar life-insurance policy. It is no surprise when Kitchens is found dead."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved show less
