About this ebook

When Death Row inmate Norman Howell drops a tidbit about how he and his father once helped the current Texas Governor get rid of competing Vietnamese fisherman with the use of high-powered explosives, Bill Travis has to decide whether to kick (and awaken) this particular sleeping dog, or whether to let it go. But then the Governor's men come calling for him, and Bill must first make certain that Julie is safe before grabbing this particular longhorn bull by the horns. His path then takes him into the heart of Texas prison system, across the parched West Texas landscape, and into the jaws of a conspiracy that reach all the way back to the Texas State Capitol in Austin.

Capitol Offense is the second novel in the action-adventure and suspense-thriller Bill Travis Mystery series.
