Change of Venue: A Texas Ranger James C. Blawcyzk Novel
Sixth generation Texas Ranger James C. Blawcyzk has ruffled the feathers of his superiors at Company F one time too many. He's offered a Either transfer to Company E, and an isolated post in far west Texas, resign, or be terminated.
Knowing he'd be a better fit in the wild, wide open spaces of the Big Bend anyway, Jim accepts the transfer. He and his family prepare to pack up and move west.
Any illusions Jim might have had about crime being less rampant in the Big Bend than the Austin area are soon shattered, starting with two men attempting to steal hay from his barn before his family has even settled in.
Jim soon discovers he's facing not only corrupt politicians and police officers in Presidio County, but has landed in the middle of a deadly turf war between two rival gangs for control of the drug and human trafficking business in almost all of the Trans-Pecos.Jim will come close to death more than once as he fights the criminal elements. A final trackdown leads him into an ambush, deep in the wilderness of Big Bend Ranch State Park. Despite both himself and his horse being badly wounded, Jim vows to bring the men he's been trailing for days to justice, or die in the attempt. His only hope is to catch up with them before he succumbs to his wounds.
Will he succeed, then reach help in time, or die a slow, agonizing death in the unforgiving land that is the Big Bend?

Delightful good guy bad guy mystery
When it's a good book, I hate to put it down until I'm finished. This book was a good book! It started off moseying along but with interesting well developed characters and then it started rolling like a tumbleweed. Amd it didn't stop til many weeds had gathered together. With a nice wrap up. Well done Mr. Griffin! Pleasant read.
