Sinossi
Neal Carey ha troppi conti in sospeso per rifiutare l'ennesimo incarico degli Amici di Famiglia. In più la fidanzata Kate ha iniziato a parlare di fare un figlio e Neal ha un rapporto piuttosto conflittuale con il concetto di paternità. Perciò, quando gli viene affidato il compito di riportare Natty Silver a Palm Desert, Neal accetta. Cosa può andare storto? Natty ha ottantasette anni, calcava le scene della Vegas dei tempi d'oro e ha un repertorio infinito di barzellette sporche. Ma ha anche la tendenza a sparire, forse perché ha visto qualcosa che non doveva vedere. Così, quello che sembrava un noioso viaggio in mezzo al deserto si trasforma in una fuga a rotta di collo.

Well before his ascension to the throne of 'King of the Drug War Novel' (no exaggeration- he really is), Don Winslow wrote a series of mysteries starring erstwhile part-time private eye Neal Carey. 'While Drowning in the Desert' is one of the series, and it's not Winslow at his best. It's a sort of
Not his best work.Lacks a spark.
