S. A. Cosby/All the sinners bleed

Black sheriff in small southern county. Chasing a serial killer. All the complexities of historical and ongoing racism.

Writing is ‘vibrant and inventive’, Nyt.

Next is his novel ‘Razorblade tears’ which is on Mr. Obama’s list.

And Peter Heller/The last ranger

Law enforcement ranger in Yellowstone. Wolves. Wolf expert. Someone killing wolves.

Nevada Barr does park law enforcement more realistically. But I enjoyed Heller’s gentle touch filled with humor.

Glorious descriptions of the park and rivers and fishing.

Locals and tourists. Bad guy with hidden story.

Started Heller’s The Guide hoping for the same. ‘Locked room’ horror in exclusive backcountry resort. Not my cup of tea.
