Bloodville
Revised to fix minor format problems.
What Don Bullis has done with this novel is intertwine a very accurate weave of murder, police and politics in New Mexico. Don is the single most knowledgeable writer on New Mexico law enforcement history, practices and personalities. He should be – he’s worked for many years in New Mexico state and local policing. Bloodville has the steel on steel ring of unflinching truth told in a style and setting which makes this book difficult to lay aside for silliness such as meals or work. Outstandingly entertaining, thoroughly accurate and sobering as well – I recommend Bloodville to folks both inside and outside policing.

A loan from my brother for a road trip to the SW for a little true crime. I got bogged down in some of the details, but the story was interesting. True crime isn't usually as riveting as fictional.
