Travis County Sheriff Clayton and his deputies
barely are at the gruesome crime scene in which a father and his two adult sons
were decapitated when ICE agent Jaime Avila takes over the investigation. Soon afterward, Clayton calls his retired former
sheriff's detective Al Quinn to inform him that his estranged brother Maury has
been hospitalized, and the Austin City Homicide cops are treating it as an
attempted murder. Reluctantly he arrives
at the hospital where his former prom date so many years ago towering Detective
Ferguson Jergens guards Maury. Having
not spoken in two decades to Maury, he is stunned to see how frail his sibling
is and shocked that he took three Viagra pills in spite of a heart problem
preventing his obtaining a prescription.
When a second attempt at murdering Maury occurs;
Al puts aside his animosity and fishing to take his brother to his secluded lakeside
house. However, Al’s home no longer is
secluded as Avila arrives and insists Maury turn informant. Fergie investigates several murders tied to
sex addicted Maury and arson burns down Al's house; while the Los Zetas Mexican
mob adds to the sibling tsuris.
To Hell And Gone In Texas is an
exciting action-packed crime thriller with a fabulous late twist. Quinn is the taciturn reluctant hero who
knows his insides are emotionally scarred while Maury shares his DNA but passionately
leaps into the inferno as he believes The Gods Must Be Crazy 2. The support cast and locale add depth to a suspenseful
Lone Star State mystery.
