An author’s life has hit rock bottom. Then he receives an unexpected invitation to teach a literature course in the States and decides to go, leaving behind the ghosts of his past. But his new world holds still worse in store. Which is why he rents a Ford one morning and loses himself in the desert. There, he meets the man who turns his life upside down forever; the man in the black Mustang.
Our hero is given a second bite at the cherry; a chance to rewrite his story from the start. But when he seizes the chance, he realizes that it isn’t just his past that’s stalking him, there’s another man’s past on his tail, too; he has gotten involved in something beyond him. He is now the fugitive at the centre of a mysterious man-hunt.
