Snow On The Desert

The Turner family, headed by Jessup Paul Turner, is a power force in the country. The family is obsessed with the preservation of its heritage and dynasty, but is cursed with marriages that produce a single male heir each generation. Jessup Paul Turner's wife produces an heir. Unfortunately, the heir is a girl. The girl, Debra, while in college, falls in love with a Black student. They marry against family wishes and she becomes pregnant, unacceptable for the Turner dynasty preservation. Turner determines that the child must be killed to preserve the Turner lineage. Turner sends men, led by his personal bodyguard, to kill the baby. The bodyguard, in love with Debra, kills the hit men instead. The young child is precocious and as he matures, believes himself to be the son of God. He attracts a large following, called the Jessupites. Turner, now with a male heir, as a result of a relationship with a prostitute, is determined, now more than ever, to have the Black boy killed. He puts into motion a plan to kill the Black Prophet.

Cocaine is flooding the Phoenix area from Mexico. Law enforcement is being overwhelmed. The man behind the importation is Eddie Loco Santiago, a ruthless criminal, who was recently released from jail and runs a popular club in town. He uses the Indian reservations in Arizona to help move the cocaine through the state because local law enforcement has no jurisdiction on Indian land. He is being extorted by an attorney, Porter Waits, who helped get him a reduced sentence for prior offenses. Waits helps fund the current drug business but takes a huge cut of the proceeds. Waits is helped by two other attorneys in his firm, one of which Waits tries to kill by injecting him with cocaine. To make the distribution more efficient, Waits has a machine brought in that presses the cocaine into pills for easier distribution. Waits is disliked by the head of the law firm, who does not trust him. He asks his in-house PI, John Walker, to see what he can find out. Jasmine Santiago, the sister of Loco, is Walkers love interest. She works at the same firm and doesnt want her brother to go back to prison.

At that time words are overwhelmed with love. This love is for Mehbooba(beloved), this is love with a little rustic touch, this love is for nature, this love is for the country, this is love for the mother who sees me even in the mirror.

I transformed and inked all the silent conversations I made with my diary during the cold nights. This book is a link of emotions and not language. Also, it is the bundle for them who steal the emotions and some stilted pain of mine and yours!
