About the Book

Have you heard of the Desert Dog? It kills people who take it on. Blackfoot Indian Solomon Bull trains for the ultra-dangerous endurance race called Desert Dog. Winning the race would solidify Solomon's inheritance. His father was a rebel who died in the 1980's fighting the US government for the American Indian Movement. Ex-mercenary Cal Barrett designed Desert Dog to shred people. Rumor is he recruits winners into a clandestine paramilitary outfit. Solomon is approached by Rachel, a government official who'll do anything to persuade him to infiltrate Cal Barrett's outfit. She warns him that something big is on the horizon. Meanwhile, crooked Senator Cyman's security chief is on Solomon's tail. Defacing Cyman's re-election billboards sparked a bigger reaction than Solomon bargained for. The pendulum between assimilation and war is swinging. Will Solomon get eaten by the machine his father died fighting? Can one man fight the evil that surrounds him and win? Solomon Bull is Clayton Lindemuth at his rebel noir best. You'll find all the "thrilling... visceral... unsparing..." prose that earned his debut Cold Quiet Country the coveted starred review from Publishers Weekly.

Review :
blueink REVIEW: A virile tale about a tough-as-nails Blackfoot Indian... a roaming badass... a well-crafted, solid thriller with tense fight scenes and Tarantino-esque banter ...an entertaining read. INDIE READER: Lindemuth's refusal to apologize for machismo is bound to upset the politically correct crowd, as is his portrayal of a politician who wallows in corruption and has a racist past involving Indians... With SOLOMON BULL, author Clayton Lindemuth has created a new genre--Indian noir, applying the theme of mystery writers in which the haunted protagonist uncovers a much bigger crime while on a quest to solve another. Lindemuth imbues this tale with secrets and lies, and a past that will not go away. Clayton Lindemuth manages to be lyrical, direct, funny and sincere whilst directing a storm of biblical fury and serving up a punchbowl of wrath. Don't bother burning his books, they're already on fire."--Jedidiah Ayres, author of Peckerwood A high-stakes story of political intrigue against the backdrop of a lethal contest that finds Blackfoot Solomon Bull trapped between a murderous conspiracy and the system his father resisted to the death. A tale with the breakneck pace of a sprint through a burning desert, full of harsh beauty and unrelenting menace. --Dennis Tafoya, author of Dope Thief Solomon Bull is a smart and darkly funny political thriller that takes institutional depravity to task... Solomon--sharp-tongued, young, and fit, with a penchant for wry vulgarities and just a hint of a philosopher's soul--is training for the Desert Dog, a privately sponsored race rumored to exist for the recruitment of mercenaries... The text is electric with evocative descriptions--the pull of a sticky floor on shoes; the sizzling heat of a desert path... A pinch of cultural references, a smattering of literary nods, and just a dash of nose-thumbing at Godwin's Law help to round out brash, often good-humored, and libertarian-flavored passages... Beneath this edgy writing lies a barbed and complex plot, involving shadow governments, abusive behaviors, and frightening global conspiracies, that snags attention and propels the story forward... the work remains involving throughout, through to an end that is as much satisfying as it is a new beginning. -Excerpts from ForeWord Reviews ★★★★★ Five stars for Solomon Bull: When the Friction has its Machine.... It's a twisted countdown to a brutish desert Arizona race in Clayton Lindemuth's newest Rebel Noir novel... The author's straightforward approach to storytelling draws readers in from the get-go as he nimbly weaves a good-versus-evil theme. Including a little bit of everything one would want in a political thriller... It should appeal to a broad audience and gain many new followers for Lindemuth's fine work. --Publishers Daily Reviews
