Book Description
================
drenched with atmosphere and intrigue that takes a young boy from a
chance encounter with Bonnie and Clyde to the trenches of World War
II and the oil fields along the Texas-Louisiana coast.
It is 1934 and the Depression is bearing down when sixteen-year-old
Weldon Avery Holland happens upon infamous criminals Bonnie Parker and
Clyde Barrow after one of their notorious armed robberies. A confrontation
with the outlaws ends as Weldon puts a bullet through the rear window
of Clyde's stolen automobile.
Ten years later, Second Lieutenant Weldon Holland and his sergeant,
Hershel Pine, escape certain death in the Battle of the Bulge and encounter
a beautiful young woman named Rosita Lowenstein hiding in a deserted
extermination camp. Eventually, Weldon and Rosita fall in love and marry
and, with Hershel, return to Texas to seek their fortunes.
There, they enter the domain of jackals known as the oil business. They
meet Roy Wiseheart - a former Marine aviator haunted with guilt for
deserting his squadron leader over the South Pacific - and Roy's wife
Clara, a vicious anti-Semite who is determined to make Weldon and Rosita's
life a nightmare. It will be the frontier justice upheld by Weldon's
grandfather, Texas lawman Hackberry Holland, and the legendary antics
of Bonnie and Clyde that shape Weldon's plans for saving his family
from the evil forces that lurk in peacetime America and threaten to
destroy them all.
