The steady tick of an aged Regulator wall clock and the squeak of
an overhead fan turning slowly are soft but insistent, counting
down the night, while the high desert thrums like a half-remembered
Victrola song. The sounds are below the consciousness of Winchell
Dear, an old-time gambler, a Texas poker player on the southern
circuit, as he waits for something . . . something vague that his
life of chance tells him is evil and moving his way. He has gassed
and oiled the Cadillac and adjusts the pistol in his right boot,
then plays one of the six fiddle tunes he knows, thinking back to
his good days with Lucinda Miller. Alone, he waits in his remote
ranch house, while, just outside, an acquaintance named Luther
hunts, unblinking and of nervous temperament and moving through
yellow primrose bending in the night wind. "From the Hardcover edition."
