Rough Country
Reavis Z Wortham Where The Road Forks
The Texas Rangers have a long history of discovery, persecution, and inspection. Wortham brings to life an early investigation that shows the transition from horse power to automobiles. The story of cross cultural investigation and political dynamics of the old western towns.
Craig Johnson The Perfect A
An early story of Walt that shows the nature of his beginning as a police officer. I loved the time spent with this beloved character at the beginning of the story.
John Gilstrap Distilled Crazy
Family feuds make bad situations. When a clan feed causes the law to protect a witness it's another matter.
Kathleen O'Neal Gear Dying Alive
A remarkable story of personal perspective. Kathy brings to realization the silent struggle of a woman in the last moments of life. Her internal dialog of her last struggles, after a horrific turn of events, is heart rendering. The flashes of past trauma clouds her understanding of current events. The horror is more in how she does not know how she was injured.
Marc Cameron Mud and Hate
The Law enforcement of Florida state has more history than Miami Vice. The idea that cowboy type law enforcement of the turn of the century shows the struggles in providing protection to the public.
Joe R. Lansdale Under The Moon of Arizona
Finding a Native American Legend of the West is a hard struggle. Being out of his element in Arkansas in the dry high deserts of Arizona.
Anthony wood the last hanging tree
The story of the change of law and perspective when vigilante justice has come to the end. The end of Jim Crow laws, and the change in small town justice.
James Wade The Harvest
Not taking the government hand out has alot of costs. But independence is your backbone even with the weather.
Jack Stewart Hauling the Mail
Sometimes the cost of a mail run is quiet alot. Sometimes politics can cost you everything.
Betsy Randolph If Only: a Policewoman’s Heartache
The cost of law enforcement is a lot on people. The strain of investigation and the law sometimes conflict. Yet it is the resistance of the men and women in law enforcement that make the world safe.
Harry Hunsicker The Butcher of Boquillas
International Police relations are difficult. Even the worst of criminals skirt between the borders to evade persecution. Corruption is common on both sides of the border.
D.P. Lyle Red Rose
An eye opening reveal of child endangerment. The story shows the hopeful ideal of social responsibility.
Tracey Daugherty: Late in the Standoff
Generational policies cause generational differences.
Mathew V. Clemens: What Can I Do?
An odd set of thefts leads to a twilight saga type mystery.

I'm not sure I am a fan of the short story. A few were good, but most left me wanting.
