The Sun Worshippers / Yellowleg [Paperback]

Two novels by Sid Fleischman, author of the award-winning The Whipping Boy. The Sun Worshippers, written in the 1960's, is published here for the first time. Set in a Southern California desert community, it tells a story of love and deceit as a world-weary writer tries to peel back the layers of lies surrounding the town's founder. Yellowleg, a western story of guilt and revenge, was originally published in 1960 and became the basis for Sam Peckinpah's first film, The Deadly Companions.
