Desert Rose Motor Court, Route 66, near Holbrook, Arizona. July 1962, 9:56 pm. Walter Dunne, a Texas rancher, opened room 7 and found the closet empty.
A leather suitcase is gone, holding 38,000 dollars in hundred-dollar bills, wrapped in First National Bank of Amarillo bands: his entire herd, sold the day before. The door and window were intact.
Walt left at 9:10 pm to eat at the diner across the road and came back at 9:55 pm. During that time, only three people were at the motel and the gas station next door. One of them went into room 7.
The motel front desk, a ceiling fan creaking, pink neon blinking in the window.
