A conspiracy-linked Dallas noir from 1999. I missed it back then, and it has become the first "summer beach read" (although my beach is my backyard pool and hot tub) I've done in about 6 years. Swanson's excellent, bloody history of the Texas Rangers turned me on to his detective novels, of which this is one of the last. Very well written and funny, with an extremely obtuse ending. I'll likely be reading the other 2 of this series, and most anything else the fellow writes (his history of Texas Poker might be next).
