Fiction. Go west with this cowboy movie novel. MacLean recreates the road book and reimagines archetypes of the American West, mixing cyber espionage, marital failure, teen anarchy, and film violence. At once a page-turning mystery, an anatomy of friendship, and a postmodern homage to screen classics. "A witch's brew of marital failure, cyber espionage, teenage anarchy, and the violence of the American Western"--Eugene Garber.
