About this ebook
A powerful and violent crime fiction novel from an iconic author and “one of the major names in science fiction” (The New York Times).
Nick Banning was a man drowning in a land of far-off horizons, a land that had all the vigor sucked out of it ages ago by the Arizona sun.
But it wasn’t the blasting heat of southwestern desert that bothered Nick—it was the heat of his own emotions, his desire for Sherry, the woman who had told him no.
But Nick was winding up, faster and faster. He meant to have Sherry—or else.
“[A] pomegranate writer: popping with seeds—full of ideas.” —Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 421

About the author
Henry Kuttner was, alone and in collaboration with his wife, the great science fiction and fantasy writer C. L. Moore, one of the five most important writers of the 1940s, the writer whose work went furthest in its sociological and psychological insight to making science fiction a human as well as technological literature. He was an important influence upon every contemporary and every science fiction writer who succeeded him. In the early 1940s and under many pseudonyms, Kuttner and Moore published very widely through the range of the science fiction and fantasy pulp markets.
