Vacuum County
On his Texas hill country ranch, Nabal Cabeza de Vaca is master of all he surveys, but David Smith is running for county judge, and he has designs on Nabal's wife and his cattle and all that he owns. A familiar saga about taxation, lechery and covetousness of Biblical proportions!This is a novel with multiple points of reference and would be of interest to aficionados of the explorer Cabeza de Vaca, those who care what happened at Mt. Carmel near Waco in 1993 and readers of the Bible familiar with the story of Nabal the Carmelite.

Vacuum County was a book unlike any other book I've read. It's intelligent and thought-provoking. The writer draws you in to the story so that you can't put the book down. I particularly liked the way the story was presented through diary entries, police reports, probation reports etc. Very, very clever the way it was done. Beautifully woven together like a rich tapestry.
