In Bullet for a Ranger, the latest novel in the Texas Ranger Jim Blawcyzk series, Jim is locked in a jail cell in the town of Quitaque, accused of murdering a saloon woman while in a drunken rage. Even though the idea of the happily married, loyal family man, non-drinking and church-going Blawcyzk being involved with a saloon entertainer, then killing her, is extremely far-fetched, the evidence against the Ranger Lieutenant is so strong even he has to admit he stands a good chance of being convicted. Worse, Jim has no recollection of the night or the events in question. His only sure ally is...

Texas Ranger Lieutenant Jim Blawcyzk is on his way to the easiest assignment he's had in a long time... until a fellow Ranger, a man Jim trusted as a friend and partner, murders their commanding officer and puts two bullets into Jim. Now, with Jim lying gravely wounded in a hospital bed, his long-time partner Smoky McCue, along with Jim's son Charlie, newly appointed to the Rangers, must try and track down the Ranger turned killer. The only problem is the renegade lawman has powerful friends and allies in Mexico, and they are determined to keep him safe from Texas law, at any cost.
