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 aphilosopher's soul--is training for the Desert Dog, a privately sponsored racerumored to exist for the recruitment of mercenaries...
The text is electric with evocativedescriptions--the pull of a sticky floor on shoes; the sizzling heat of a desertpath... A pinch of cultural references, a smattering of literary nods, and justa dash of nose-thumbing at Godwin's Law help to round out brash, oftengood-humored, and libertarian-flavored passages...
Beneath this edgy writing lies a barbedand complex plot, involving shadow governments, abusive behaviors, andfrightening global conspiracies, that snags attention and propels the storyforward... the work remains involving throughout, through to an end that is asmuch satisfying as it is a new beginning.

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
★★★★★ 5 stars for Solomon Bull
A book that manages to have multiple WTF plot twists gets points for being surprising.... "Solomon Bull" presents several conspiracies centering on the main character and the personal struggle for identity of the same. I'd summarize it as James Bond meets the Southwest and militia conspiracy theories to create an inventive novel. I give the book five stars on complexity and novelty. ---Tamara Wilhite, buff.ly/2nJ7dIt
★★★★★ 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, buff.ly/2oFunjw
