The Sundown Killers
In The Sundown Killers a group of fugitives hunts another group of fugitives across the Southwest. The Sundown Killers starts in a bathroom of a fast-food restaurant on the Navajo Nation in Arizona and expands to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, crossing the sagebrush highways and canyon backroads. LeCaine Keeyahani, a Navajo teenager, joins Dondo Kee, a mysterious elder, to pursue a taboo evil that his compassion has unleashed on the world and threatens to uproot the foundations of modern life. A sweeping tale of gods and monsters, strange humor and off-beat philosophy, The Sundown Killers weaves a mythic reality inside the borders of the American nightmare.
