Gun Shy: A Blanco County, Texas, Novel

Front Cover
Macmillan, Apr 29, 2008 - Fiction - 368 pages
It’s just days before the National Weapons Alliance rally in Blanco County, and things couldn’t be off to a worse start. First, an illegal immigrant is killed in a questionable hunting accident. Then, when local game warden John Marlin starts poking around for clues, he uncovers an astonishing secret—one that threatens to bring down the NWA. Turns out the host of this year’s rally, heartthrob country superstar Mitch Campbell, is not the Stetson-wearing, gun-toting, bull-riding man he appears to be…and someone’s planning to out him for the pill-popping, snowboarding, former rock-and-roller from Vermont he really is. Soon the entire town of Blanco finds itself in the dead center of a national scandal…and heading straight into the line of fire.
