Which is worse, the guns of New York or the dangerous desert of New Mexico?

In 1976, the best a black kid in Harlem can hope for is to work for the mob or pick up extra bucks as an informer. It may be too late for Rand, but that won't stop him from trying to save his brother, Bo. When strangers appear on the streets of Harlem, Rand hatches a crazy plan to use them to send Bo to a place that is so desolate and removed from Harlem that no one will dare follow him.

Once there, all Bo has to do is find a way to stay alive. A contemporary Western, coming of age in the rural Southwest

Soul of the Desert was short listed in the Debut Dagger competition in 2003.
