[fuzzi_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Worthy installment in the Texas Ranger series, continuing Andy's experiences as a Ranger. This time he and a less than friendly acquaintance are sent to the Texas/Mexico border due to increasing hostilities between residents on both side of the river. Good read, liked the character development, too.
