Mind Game (A Blanco County Short Story)

This guy is the funniest, freshest voice in Texas mystery writing today. His work stands out like a DayGlo parka in deer season."

About Mind Game:
The sheriff of Blanco County has a problem on his hands. One local resident is making vague threats—hypothetically speaking, of course—to unsettle another local resident, who stole the first man's girlfriend. The problem escalates and violence is almost certain, until the sheriff comes up with a brilliant and ironic solution.
