From the Author
Racial animosity yields to the common vision of destiny.
The character lost in Las Vegas is a remarkable young Pueblo man, a spiritual prodigy and National Champion Fancy Dancer, who has been corrupted by the glamour of show business. His tribal elders call upon their spiritual brother, an anglo man who was the principal character in NAKED INTO THE NIGHT, to go to Las Vegas in an attempt to restore the young potential leader to his tribe. The mission seems impossible given the mistrust Indians hold for anglo do-gooders and wannabees. Anglo must face the animosity of Dancer, and the proprietary interests of the two Folies Bergere showgirls who manipulate him. In the process, both Indian and Anglo must sort out their destinies which requires that they risk life itself in the Valley of Fire.
After years of research, the truth in this book is more attributive to the grace of vision during the creative process than to the craft of fiction. It was a remarkable experience to write.
