A work of fiction. This book is a murder mystery. It is mostly set in
coastal South Texas. Port Mansfield, Port Isabel, and Weslaco, Texas
are prominently featured. The action does extend to Austin, Galveston,
New York and Washington, DC in this tale of oil, South Texas ranching,
big money and environmental concern. Historical facts are interwoven
giving it more local flair. A short bit of offshore sailing up the
Texas coast adds boating flavor. There are some interesting plot twists
and turns in the last part of the book which give an OHenry flavor. The
chapters are very short, which gives reading this a feeling of
immediacy. On the whole a satisfying read. I believe this is the
authors first work of fiction. The author is a South Texas native, and
claims that his family has been here for 5 generations. I am told that
his name is French. For more information on him see
