(from the publisher): Life in rural Blanco County, Texas, isn't what
most folks would call exciting---and that suits game warden John Marlin
just fine. He's happy to spend his days and nights protecting the local
wildlife from poachers and the poachers from the local wildlife. There
may be a shortage of attractive single women in town, a source of some
frustration to Marlin over the years, but he's never really let it
bother him. Too much ...
Luckily, every now and then an incident comes along to spice things up
for a while. When the tequila-slamming, skirt-chasing treasurer of the
local Rotary Club goes missing, and his vehicle is found in the river
the day after a big flood, Marlin knows he's found his latest
distraction. At nearly the same time, a house down the road explodes in
a shower of drug paraphernalia, and an exotic car turns up stolen from
the missing man's barn. Marlin and good friend Sheriff Bobby Garza are
soon overwhelmed, trying to figure out how everything connects together.
In the middle of it all, Marlin can't believe his luck when the strange
goings-on put him in daily contact with a new member of the sheriff's
department---beautiful deputy Nicole Brooks has just moved into the
area and Marlin is just itching to show her around. He has to put his
crush on the back burner, however, when events begin to spiral out of
control in a way that's not altogether rare in recent Blanco County
history.
