Texas Panic!
"A cow slips and goes down in a feed yard in Sagebrush, Texas. Considering that there are 35 million cattle in the Texas Panhandle, one "downer" would hardly seem newsworthy, but two factors escalate the event into a national panic."

About the author
Harry Haines
20 books2 followersHarry H. Haines started out as (we kid you not) a trombone player. Trombone led to band directing. Band directing led to a doctorate and college teaching. University work and today’s "publish or perish" environment led to fifteen books, all nonfiction, most about music teaching, six about cars.
Harry liked writing and, when he retired from teaching at WTAMU, he decided to try his hand at fiction. It looked easy. Thirteen years and four books later, he has the battle scars to show that it was anything but. He attended the Iowa Summer Writers Festival four times, the Maui Writers Conference/Retreat three times, and several dozen writers' workshops located all over the country. And he entered an uncountable number of fiction contests. He failed a lot but his manuscripts have won four, big, international contests. See "awards" page on the website.
The Cover-up at Ann Arbor is about cars and the people who design and make them. But like Haines’s first two stories, the sub-plot features a singer who faces ruthless competition.
Harry and his wife Shirley (a retired librarian) live in Canyon, Texas.

This was one of the worst books about Texas that I have ever read. From "Rolf Brewster" to sex with his wife, the plot was just unbelievable. There is no chance that the FBI would so involve an animal doctor in their efforts to arrest foreign terrorists plotting to destroy the food chain in America..
I do not recommend this book to any reader.
