Stephen Scott 
Yellow 

When the Reverend Richard Catesbys younger brother Willy disappears in his yellow Volkswagen convertible, the local sheriff in West Virginia does not believe there is enough evidence to warrant an investigation. But Catesby, convinced his brother has been murdered, puts aside his vows as an Episcopal priest and prepares to avenge Willy himself.

His friend Stan, worried not only for Richards safety, but also about the morality of his crusade, tries to reason with him. Richard however, finds himself growing fond of his role as a samurai. He devises an intriguing revenge, and Stan reluctantly finds himself caught up in its web.

About the author

Born in a French nunnery in China, Stephen Scott was raised on the northwest frontier of India and educated (more or less) in England. Then he began his checkered career: selling encyclopedias, building 50 foot metal trees for London exhibitions, landscaping (poaching water plants from an absent Scottish laird to sell in London), and various tent shows. Never in prison. Lured abroad by cheap airfares to the US, he was persuaded to overstay his visa by a designing woman and apprehended by Texas Rangers. After marrying the designing woman in a Scottish fishing village in a howling gale, he returned to New Mexico where he continues to write in a tower by the Rio Grande.
