| Hard Cover, "Life can get a little wild from time to time for John Marlin, the game warden in Blanco County, Texas. For instance, Marlin didn't even bat an eyelash when a local resident's amorous encounter with a white-tailed deer came to light last year - on videotape. Aside from that, however, few incidents compare to the stories flying around town at the start of this new deer season." "Hunters all over the county are reporting an incredible sight: a six-foot-tall, drop-dead-gorgeous blonde roaming the woods, searching out camouflage-clad men with guns and disarming them with her powers of seduction, the likes of which none of them have ever encountered before. Of course, the last time any of these guys were seduced was by the cover of the Victoria's Secret catalog, so Marlin wonders if the reports are a bit exaggerated." The Blanco County residents are all enjoying hearty laughs at the expense of the few embarrassed hunters, until one turns up dead in the woods. Now Marlin has a real mystery to deal with. Meanwhile, rumors are spreading about a new Blanco resident, an ex-New Yorker named Sal Mameli, who's ruffling feathers with his loud mouth and his penchant for getting his own way, no matter what the cost. Before long, John Marlin realizes he may be the only sane man in town, and he's starting to wonder if he can last much longer himself. |
