Blanco County series
The Blanco County series is about John Marlin, a game warden who partakes in homicide investigations. In addition to serving as mysteries, the series is also a humorous look at the hunting culture of Texas in a satiric style similar to Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey. Publishers Weekly describes it as "confident and vigorous; the tone is quintessentially Texan and relentlessly wry".
