Mike Stone is just a "nice" guy you can't help but like his
books. Also
there is a guy named Bruce Most (also from Denver) who has a
woman bail
bonds person who also "recovers" her own jumps, who drives a
red
Lambougini (I guess if you have one you don't misspell it??);
then there
is JD Knight who wrote one (something about "Zero") and of
course Janet
Evonovich who is so-o-o funny (pardon me, while I gag), but
actually I
can recommend Cris Rogers' book. It is a little slow getting
started,
but after she gets the jumper back to Texas the pace picks up
(about the
first 100 pages are the trip back in snow from the Dakotas
(forget which
of them but north on I-35 anyway) to Texas) It's a typical
first book
(you throw in everything because you might be afraid you
won't be
published again) and it's pretty prediciable for those of us
who always
read this kind of thing (at least I figured out early on who
the
"killer" was, but I couldn't get the motive--and she does
sort'a make
you doubt who you thought it was--of course, we -know- (no
spoiler) it's
not the jumper.
That's Okay, Reed, we had a problem with some bounty hunters
here in
Dallas too; they're everywhere, they're everywhere. No
regulations
except Federal ones.
