About:
"Once again, Al Quinn’s wish to lead a quiet life as a retired sheriff’s department detective gets interrupted. This time, a female con artist has ripped off a charity drive his brother, Maury, and his sister-in-law, Bonnie, are heading.
Sheriff Clayton also wants a favor. He asks Al to look into a report of a chupacabra, a mythological Texas beast that sucks the blood from goats. The tangled web causes Al and his “starting-to-get-serious” partner, Fergie, to cross paths with two hardened killers who decide Al and Fergie need to die.
Their dance across the drought-stricken countryside threatens to finish Al and Fergie, along with the rest of his household, including the baby, Little Al, and their dog, Tanner."

I really liked this book. New series to me and a new author. Very suspenseful with constant action beginning to end. Although it takes place in current day central Texas, it had a wild west feel to me, with the posse of Al and Fergie, Maury and Bonnie trying to bring in a fund raising scammer, while checking out reports of a Chupacabra. They are chasing down the bad guys, while being chased by other bad guys, all out in the hills of central Texas.
I liked all the references to the small towns, as I am very familiar with them. The story about the fund raising (rain maker) scam really opened my eyes, and I wonder and suppose there is some truth to it.
Likeable characters, fast paced, definitely kept my interest. If you are from Central Texas I think you would like to follow Al's adventures. He was just a few miles from me in this story.
