Never
Look Back In Texas by Russ Hall
begins innocently enough with Al Quinn long since retired being asked by
Sheriff Clayton to do a little mentoring. He has the experience and despite the
grumbling, is ready to help out. He just was not ready to see on his way home
hours later, Fergie in deep conservation with a man who clearly is very special
to Fergie.
Rattled
to his core, it takes a while for Al to talk to her only to find out that the
clearly intimate conversation was not at all what it seemed. Colin Tansey has a
stepson named, Baron Fielding, and the thirty-two-year-old man is missing.
Colin, who has known Fergie for nearly forever, wants Fergie’s help as the
local cops have done nothing productive so far.
Before
long, Al is on the mission with Fergie to find Baron and things escalate fast.
More than once, Al’s doing a favor for a friend has nearly gotten them both killed.
This time, Fergie’s willingness to do a favor for a friend might get them and a
lot of other innocent folks killed.
The
sixth book in the series, Never Look Back In Texas continues to
build on the foundation set long ago in To
Hell and Gone in Texas. As always, family by biology or extended by
way of friendship plays a role in the mystery tale as does plenty of action, bad
guys with big guns or small, and the Texas landscape, drought or not. Author
Russ Hall has created a fine mystery series where the young guys do not have
all the fun. As always, read in order, as the series is one that evolves over
time and there are references to earlier events. There is not a bad read in the
bunch and the latest installment, Never Look Back In Texas, is
another good one. Highly recommended.

Kevin, just to say that's a great review of Russ Hall's newest book. I have read all of his Al Quinn series now except for no. 4, which I will be reading, and Russ really knows how to spin a great tale. You capture why the book is so captivating in your review. On behalf of readers and writers, I thank you for this review and all your others. Peace, Claire
