Reseña del editor
It's 1964 in Center Springs, Texas, and farmer and part-time Constable Ned Parker has been summoned to a hot cornfield one morning to examine the remains of a tortured bird dog. Ned is comfortable handling moonshiners, drunks, and domestic disputes. But when the animal atrocities turn to murder, the investigation spins beyond his abilities. After a dizzying series of twists, eccentric characters, and dead ends, Judge O.C. Rains is forced to contact the FBI. Then sinister warnings that Ned's family has been targeted by the killer lead the old lawman to become judge and jury to end the murder spree in the Red River bottomlands. Reavis Z. Wortham is humor editor and frequent contributor to Texas Fish and Game Magazine and author of Doreen's 24 HR Eat Gas Now Café, a collection of short stories. His work has also appeared in American Cowboy and Texas Sporting Journal. A retired educator of 35 years, he and wife live in Texas. The Rock Hole is his first novel. www.reaviszwortham.com
