A Fort Worth detective finds contentment as a small-town police chief.
Orin Cage left a 15-year career with the Fort Worth PD to become Chief of Police in the small North Texas town of Rather. Glad to have escaped the high-pressure of the Metroplex crime scene, Cage takes a laid-back, but still effective, approach law enforcement.
The six stories in this volume:
* "By a Nose" (inept double-crossing crooks)
* "Give Him a Hand" (it was just a magic act, right?)
* "A Quiet Sunday" (that turned out not quite so quiet, after all)
* "Lady in Distress" (she didn't appreciate the help)
* "Out of Control" (nobody's kid is immune)
* "Have Another Drink" (but be careful whom you stick it to in business)

"A superbly crafted historical novel of aerial combat and romance set against the backdrop of 'The War To End All Wars' ... highly recommended." - from a review of Walt Shiel's 'Once a Knight' novel in Midwest Book Review
"Written with the pace of a thriller, 'Devil in the North Woods' is a grim but fascinating read, building a bonfire of the dusty pages of history." - from a review of Walt Shiel's 'Devil in the North Woods' novel in Northern Express Weekly
