In a follow-up to 'One Ranger' the author reopens his case files to tell more unforgettable stories, while also giving readers a deeply personal view of what being a Texas Ranger has meant to him and his family. The author recalls his 5yr pursuit of two of America's most notorious serial killers, Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole. He sets the record straight about the role of the Texas Rangers during the United Farm Workers strike in the Rio Grande Valley in 1966-1967. He also describes the frustration of try8ng to solve a cold case from 1938 - the brutal murder of a mother and daughter in the lonely desert east of Van Horn. And he presents a rogue's gallery of cattle rustlers, drug smugglers, and a teetotalling bootlegger named Tom Bybee, a modest, likeable man who became an axe murderer.
