This stretch of the Sonoran is a killer, Viejo tells Sarah. It killed one of his children, three of his grandchildren. It killed his brother.

When she doesn’t reply, he spits on the dust-washed tiles of the cantina floor and says, “It slaughters. Like a butcher.”

( Sarah glances at the table where Jesse and Savannah wait and watch, and then smiles in the face of his disapproval. )
