Trouble In Tourmaline (Silhouette Special Edition) - Plot & Excerpts
The high desert made it a dry heat, but hot was hot. When they reached the Carson Sink area, they’d finished all the bottled water despite the truck’s air-conditioning. “There’s hardly even any sagebrush out here,” Betty commented. Amy, looking at the bleak, arid landscape, thought she’d never seen such a desolate spot. “Why doesn’t the Carson River keep going instead of sinking into the sand out here?” Sarah asked. “All the rivers in the area do the same thing,” David said. “They run out of enough water to keep flowing. What’s left eventually sinks into the sand.” “Is this where the rocks move all by themselves?” Sarah said after they parked and got out. “They get some help from the winds,” David said. The hot wind hit Amy like a blast from a steel mill furnace. “How big are these so-called walking rocks?” she asked. He pointed to the flat ahead of them where rocks resembling partially squashed melons were scattered. Underfoot the sand felt dry, though out farther it looked somewhat darker, as though it might be damp.
