Shotgun Saturday Night (Sheriff Dan Rhodes, Bk 2)
Shotgun Saturday Night - Sheriff Dan Rhodes, Bk 2 Author:Bill Crider Sheriff Dan Rhodes is involved in a confusing case when a Blacklin County trash pile yields a number of legs and arms. Shortly after, the man who found the body parts dies and Sheriff Rhodes must find his way through the usual Texas types as well as a gang of bikers to solve the case...
This is the second in the long-running Sheriff Dan Rhodes series set in Texas. Originally published in 1987, it mentions Ed McBain's 87th Precinct novels a few times-- usually to mention that Rhodes' small bailiwick doesn't have near the amount of "high tech" that the 87th has. (And just imagine how the tech has changed since 1987!)
Rhodes has to sort out his feelings for his girlfriend while he tries to unravel all the knots in this mystery, and I enjoyed following along. Sometimes it's just plain relaxing to have a mystery with no cell phones or forensics, you know?
