A laconic loner who keeps his pet opossum in a desk drawer, Heist intrigues the sarcastic and garrulous Phoebe. Reluctantly, he agrees to help. The unlikely pair navigate the enclaves of desert-dwelling vagabonds and find that Arabella is in serious troubleâcaught in the middle of a violent standoff that only Heist, mysteriously, can end. Phoebeâs trip to the desert was always going to be strange, but it was never supposed to be dangerous. . . .
