Synopsis

For Jack Baylor, a struggling actor who needs a quick exit from the City of Angels after an affair with his best friend's wife, Twentynine Palms is the perfect refuge. Jack's plan to lay low, relax, and enjoy the high desert quickly goes sideways, however, as his best friend, Tory, is already following his trail up Highway 62 with bad intentions. When a family disappears from the motel Jack is staying in, he is the only logical suspect. Now he has to clear his name and escape a revenge plot. With the unexpected help of a fourteen-year-old girl, Jack must evade the police and Tory before his world comes entirely unhinged. With the merciless Southern California desert heat as backdrop, Twentynine Palms is a sun-faded, brutal race toward a surprising truth.

About this title

About the Author

Daniel Pyne's long resume of films, which have grossed over half a billion dollars, includes Pacific Heights, Doc Hollywood, Sum of All Fears, The Manchurian Candidate and Fracture. His TV credits -- writing and show-running -- span from Miami Vice to Amazon's Bosch. But an indie film he wrote and directed, Where's Marlowe?, which nobody saw, is still pretty much his favorite Hollywood endeavor. Pyne's sixth published novel is Vital Lies, and his first, Twentynine Palms, has been reissued by Starlite Pulp. His short stories can be found in the Starlite Pulp Review and online at Hot Valley Writers. Pyne splits time between Los Angeles and Santa Fe, New Mexico, with the help of Route 66 and I-40.
