Mojave Winds by Mark Biskeborn
He returned to his country, his hollowed out soul gnawing away at him, until love floated in on Mojave Winds.A Mid-Western kid ships off to serve his country...four years later...Kris Klug comes back a man looking for a job. He counts on his Uncle Fred as a bridge back to the civilian world. He yearns for simple, peaceful living. After meeting up with his Uncle Fred for a job in his trucking outfit hauling goods between L.A. and Vegas, Klug discovers an underworld where thugs and cokeheads snare him and dump him in the Mojave.
With gangsters at his heels, Klug sinks into his darkest hour. Love comes his way when he least expects to survive. Mojave Winds carry the devil's breath and maybe, just maybe, an angel's mercy.
