Red, White, and Blue Murder

An Anthony Award-winning Author There hasn't been any rain to speak of in Sheriff Dan Rhodes's Texas county for nearly two months. Rhodes does see a good side, He hasn't had to mow his yard in weeks, and the coming Fourth of July fireworks have been canceled. Besides, one spark in the wrong place in this weather, and the whole county could go up in flames. Although the county survives, a wooden shack does burn to the ground with the owner's body inside -- and not even a sparkler was anywhere near the premises.
