But he also has to deal with the effects of the Dust Bowl, including rising tensions in his small town and the spread of a shadowy illness. A case of the new 'dust dementia' would certainly explain who (or what) Jack has glimpsed in the abandoned Talbot barn--a sinister figure with a face like rain. In a land where it never rains, it is hard to trust what you see with your own eyes--and harder still to take heart and be a hero when the time comes"--Front jacket flap.
