Plains Crazy
By J.
M. Hayes
Welcome to
Benteen County on the plains of Kansas. It's supposed to be quiet
out there in a small town. Tell that to Sheriff English and his
brother Mad Dog and his pet wolf Hailey. Circumstances beyond their
control lead to anything but quiet for them. One is out to enforce
the law but is the other out breaking it? Who is the mysterious
woman from Mad Dog's past that is hunting him?
Throw in a Cheyenne Indian reality TV show being
filmed in their midst, pipe bombs showing up here and there, a bank
robbery, murder and terrorists letters and Sheriff English has his
hands full. Have Al Qaeda really come to Kansas? "Englishman"
as the Sheriff is known to the folks of Benteen County finds he
is understaffed and overwhelmed. Not the best time for his wife
Judy to decide she is going to live out her dream and take a trip
to Paris. She's not planning to take a "no I can't go"
from her husband either. Their daughters both named Heather don't
take the news very well either when they find out they are the last
to know about this trip. How in the world does Judy find herself
in the middle of the bank robbery? Surely, "Englishman"
is not going to understand this one.
Enjoy this crazy tale in a day in
the life of a quiet town. Benteen County has some crazy characters
and a fast-paced story line. Mrs. Kraus is the receptionist at the
Sheriff's office and is packing a gun. Deputies Parker and Wynne
sure do run into some trouble along the way in their quest to help
the town and the Sheriff. It's a very entertaining and just a plain
crazy read.
