Steven L. Davis

An engaging collection of crime fiction in which Texas is as much a character as a setting.

The foremost works of one of Texas's most influential writers—excerpts from all of Bud Shrake's novels (including Strange Peaches and Blessed McGill); articles from Sports Illustrated; and selections from Willie Nelson's autobiography, Shrake's screenplay

Taking a fresh look at a landmark Texas writer who hasn’t been the subject of a biography since Lon Tinkle’s 1978 An American Original, this book reveals J. Frank Dobie as a “free-range thinker” who fought for liberal political causes.
