Beneath the Sands of Monahans

Bag om Beneath the Sands of Monahans

The tale of a stone-cold frontiersman blasting across his beloved Texas highways attempting to retain his sense of daring and independence among friends, family, bookies and under-reported enemies. Beneath the Sands of Monahans introduces Archie Weesatche, a hard-working orphan who's recently sold his oilfield hot shot company, Keep On Truckin'. With money in his pocket, and time on his hands, Archie launches a long-planned Tour of Texas with best friend Okinawa Watkins, gambling with a colorful cast of hand-picked boosters and bookies on high school and college football games. Enter Mexican heiress, Josefina Montemayor, who convinces her long-ago lover that Archie's the only man she trusts to raise the $650,000 she needs to release millions in unrecovered cartel cash. Set in a map's worth of Texas locations, this "quest" narrative explores cultural minefields, the precarious nature of oilfield booms and busts, and the tricky world of cash money gambling during a legendary winning streak.
