James Crumley: Bordersnakes (UK 1998)

From the Publisher:
Someone gut shot Sughrue in New Mexico and left him to live with his demons, running naked in the blood red desert sunset and loving the only woman who has ever managed to love him. Someone took all the money in Milodragovitch's daddy's will, leaving Milo with a 2000 - dollar suit, a Cadillac El Dorado and a hard -on for retribution. Now Sughrue and Milodragovitch have hooked up in El Paso for a death trip across a country called Texas, to a state of mind called revenge.

For Milodragovitch, it's a matter of finding the banker who cheated him of his inheritance. For Sughrue it's all about confronting the man who set him up as target practice. For them both it's a case that revolves around a ranch house in Texas where two people have been tortured to death - and a cocaine - dusted death trap near the Mexican border.
