Sheriff Dan Rhodes Mysteries

Sheriff Dan Rhodes and his deputies patrol Blacklin County, Texas, keeping the citizens safe from burglars, meth-heads, petty thieves, feral hogs, and sometimes even an alligator. Now and then Rhodes gets a bit of assistance from Seepy Benton, a math teacher who thinks he’s a lawman, while being both helped and hindered by his dispatcher, Hack Jensen, and Lawton, the jailer. Although Blacklin County and the little towns in it might seem quiet and unexciting to an outsider, the occasional murder does a lot to liven things up. Sheriff Rhodes has a lot to deal with. He sometimes winds up in serious trouble, but he always comes through in the end. Maybe muddy, maybe bloody, but unbowed.
