Different from his usual

This is one of my favorite Bill Crider books. He autographed my copy with a nice message, but then he's a nice guy. This is so different from his Dan Rhodes (which I like, too), academia and other series. It is set in the Texas State Capitol Building. [Yes, capitol, not capital - after all, he was an English teacher!] Besides the mystery - two murders, you get a lot of funny satire about Texas Government, a paranoid Governor, the legislators, lobbyists, even a bit about Texas College football. If you're not a native Texan, you'll learn a little about Austin, our capitol city. It is set before the CSI era, so you get old fashioned crime investigation and reasoning, much like in the Dan Rhodes' books, but by a Texas Ranger. Buy one of these used copies, since it is long out of print.
