Sam Hunter has spent twenty
years escaping his past. Now it has
caught up to him in the weirdest
of all possible ways.
As a boy growing up in Montana, he was Samson Hunts Alone --
until a deadly misunderstanding with the law forced him to
flee the Crow reservation at age fifteen. Today he is a
successful Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a
Mercedes, a condo and a hollow, invented life. The one day,
shortly after his thirty-fifth birthday, destiny offers
Samuel Hunter the dangerous gift of love in the exquisite
form of Calliope Kincaid -- and a curse in the unheralded
appearance of an ancient Indian god by the name of Coyote.
Coyote, the trickster, has arrived to transform tranquility
into chaos, to reawaken the mystical storyteller within
Sam . . . and to seriously screw up his existence in the
process.
