Scream Away, But No One Cares...
Austin's urban sprawl is crowding in on Al Quinn's once wilderness lakefront house. Yet he is tugged away from his cozy retirement, his quirky housemates, and even his promise to marry Fergie by a string of seemingly petty crimes that are starting to seem organized.
Houses may be springing up around where he and his family live, but Al knows from his years as a sheriff's department detective that there are still some quite dark corners in Texas. He finds himself drawn right out into the darkest of them.
The trail he follows gets even more sinister when he and Fergie must confront the Aryan Brotherhood. There is no backing away, though, when the lives of his brother Maury, Bonnie, Little Al, and even Al's dog, Tanner, are at stake.

Al Quinn is a retired detective with the sheriff’s department and yet, he isn’t. Sort of. Al’s quiet retirement has been riddled with anything but quiet. There’s his brother and all that has to do with him, there’s his long time friend Fergie (a retired city detective), and then there’s the sheriff who just can’t seem to let Al go completely. Good thing, too. Because if his life was quiet we wouldn’t have these great stories to read. This time someone tries to dognap Al’s dog Tanner and that’s all it takes for Al to get pulled into something bigger that stinks of rotten highly illegal goings on.
Ah, how I love Al Quinn. He’s a favorite hero of mine and I’m giddy when another story comes out. The action keeps the tricksy and convoluted plot moving at a good clip and what’s not to love about the characters? The dialogue flows easily and I can usually finish one of these books in one sitting, if real life cooperates. I like how it’s hard to figure out what’s going on. I can make guesses, but it’s not until the end that the whole thing comes together. Perfection.
