Description

Tucson, 1960. Former Bayside City cop Phillip Randall thought he'd buried his demons with his badge. But the heat of the Arizona sun can't burn away the shadows of the mob — especially when they roll in driving 200 Buicks and carrying East Coast grudges.

Still grieving his wife and numbing the pain with bourbon, Randall is pulled back into the world he tried to outrun when a quiet mob deal turns deadly. The Quatrocchi crime family has moved west, and with them comes a spiral of violence that could consume Tucson just like it did Bayside City.

🔥 The Desert Dago is a lean, gritty neo-noir novella packed with hard dialogue, stripped-down prose, and moral decay in the American Southwest. A spiritual sequel to Bullet City, this standalone tale brings noir out of the alleys and into the arid open — where even the desert can't hide a man from his past.

Perfect for fans of James Ellroy, Jim Thompson, and classic pulp fiction with a 1960s bite.
