The Marfa Blues: searching for treasure - Paperback

by John Egenes (Author)

Vera DeSoto runs a cafe in Marfa, Texas in 1968. The cowboys and truckers who come in every day fantasize and hope for a chance with her, but she enjoys her solitary life and isn't ready to settle down with anyone. Yet somehow, Vera seems to collect strays, lost and wayward people looking for second chances. A 14-year-old girl, two hippie boys, and a scared young artist manage to find their way into Vera's life and suddenly, she's joining them in a search for buried treasure in the badlands of the rugged desert of Southwest Texas.

They will learn what finding treasure really means.

A classic yarn, full of surprises, with all the right elements: love and loss, hope and despair, drug dealers and cloned cows, and the mysterious Marfa Lights.
