Gone South contains danger and suspense, but it is primarily the story
of a quest. Dan, dogged by depression and Agent Orange-induced
leukemia, has accidentally killed a man. On the run, he meets Arden, a
disfigured woman abandoned at a truck stop. He reluctantly agrees to
help her on her journey to the Louisiana swamps where, she believes, the
legendary Bright Girl will heal her. Meanwhile, an unlikely pair of
bounty hunters is on Dan’s trail: Flint began life as a carnival freak,
with his Siamese twin’s tiny arm and half-formed face protruding from
his chest; he is saddled with training Cecil, a self-deprecating and
pathetically friendly Elvis impersonator.
