A hired killer on his final job; a burned-out detective whose wife
is dying slowly and in agony; a young boy abandoned by his parents
and living alone by his wits. Three people, solitary and
disconnected from society. The detective is looking for the killer,
Christian, though he doesn't know that. Christian is trying to find
the man who stepped in and took down his target before he had the
chance. And the boy, Jimmie, is having the killer's dreams. While
they never meet, they are inextricably linked, and as their stories
unfold, all find the solace of community. In what is at one and the
same time a coming-of-age novel, a realistic crime novel and a
novel of the contemporary Southwest, The Killer Is Dying is above
all the story of three men of vastly different age and background,
and of the shape their lives take against the unforgiving sunlight
and sprawl of America's fifth largest city, Phoenix.
