What awaits Earl in the faint glow of a distant porch light is the world of Dan Brown. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dan Brown's brother has been killed. Dan has plans to handle the revenge, and Earl has strayed into the crossfire. Dan is the last of the road warriors, a murderous, drug-crazed biker who only thinks of laws as things to break. But more than Buddy Brown lies dead in the moonlight. From a time when the valley was the hub of the nation's citrus industry to the defoliated sorry mess of today, it has come down to one fact. Earl Dean, broken-hearted vacuum cleaner salesman, owns the last single acre of orange groves in Pomona. And like his great-grandfather before him, he must come forward to claim his inheritance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Kem Nunn does for Pomona what Raymond Chandler, James M.
