THE THIRD LARGEST DESERT PARK in the country, Mojave National Preserve protects 1.6 million acres of spectacular arid lands at the heart of the Mojave Desert. Part of the celebrated Great Basin province, it is a spellbinding region of mighty mountain ranges rising thousands of feet above vast inland basins. Famous for the majestic Kelso Dunes, the Devils Playground, and the world¹s largest Joshua tree forest, the preserve also holds considerable natural and cultural wealth, including a wild range of landscapes, striking plant communities, and a rich mining past. Above all, it is a land of contrasts, alternatively forlorn and vibrant with life, stark and colorful, blanketed in snow in the winter, awash with wildflowers in the spring, and scorching hot in the summer. Being high-desert country and generally a little cooler than Death Valley, topographically less rugged, and far less visited, it offers a tremendous potential for comparatively easier hiking in complete solitude.

Homestead cabins fly in formation. A private eye wakes up at a motel with his gun missing-in-action. A biker's secret takes the shape of a desert raven. Lost and damaged souls walk across an isolated, high desert landscape. Bullets fly and the knives are out. In old cars and dark bars, men and women struggle to find something - anything - to hang onto. Mojave Crime collects 50 "micro" crime fiction vignettes by Twentynine Palms writer Benjamin Goulet. In short bursts of action, dialogue and violence, each piece is a mini-gem of high desert noir. In the annals of Southern California writing, there's nothing quite like it.
