Beloved Texas Sheriff Dan Rhodes is back with his final
murder case in That Old Scoundrel Death. When a man is run off the road by a thug with a snake
tattooed around his neck, Sheriff Dan Rhodes knows it's his
duty to stop and help out. The grateful victim gives his
name as Cal Stinson, on his way to the nearby town of
Thurston to take a look at the old school building before
the city tears it down. The next day, Cal Stinson turns up again. Only this time,
he's dead. His body is found in the dilapidated school that's about to
be razed, and the woman who let Cal onto the premises claims
he gave his name as Bruce Wayne. Whoever is he is, he was
shot in the back of the head, and a piece of chalk lies
inches away from his hand, under a lone line on the
chalkboard, his last words unfinished. Between not-so-bright hoodlums who can't seem to stay on the
right side of the law, powerful families in town who are
ready to go to battle over whether the old school should
come down, and trying futilely to get private detective
Seepy Benton to stop making mountains of mole hills, Sheriff
Rhodes is beginning to wonder if retirement might be as good
as it sounds.
