Second book in the series about Sheriff Dan Rhodes of Texas.

AWESOME BOOK. I read this book when I was in college and still remember it (one scene in particular!) today...many many years after college.
This is a great series. I have read all but a handful of them.

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?

This was an easy read and regionally interesting. Part of a series that I will probably try to find the others.
