In the valley of the sun

The finalist of the Awards of the Horror Awards, Bram Stoker Awards, Grand Prix de L`Imaginaire, Prix Bob Morane.

Pursued by the past, Trevis Stilwell spends nights in search of women in the bars of West Texas. What he then does with them does not cause him pride - just this soothes internal demons for a while.
After Trevis meets a mysterious pale girl on the way one night, he wakes up in his van weak and bloodied - without signs of a girl, without memories of the night.
When the owner of the motel Annabel Gaskin offers a cow to pay for his residence, he accepts her offer. In the afternoon, he repairs the old motel, gradually becoming part of the life of Annabel and her ten -year -old son. At night, in the cave of his house on wheels, he fights with inexpressible hunger. Soon, Annabel begins to understand that Trevis is not what it seems.
At the other end of the state, the Sedey Texas Ranger hunts for a serial killer, and this will lead him to revelation, much more monstrous. A person of the law, he will have to decide how deeply he will plunge into darkness for the sake of justice.
And one dusty autumn night will gain a new life - and new blood.

This is no longer a place here than the “Bloody Meridian "in the McCarthy spectrum - it has Texas and cruelty, but there is more detective than Western.” - Goodreads
