Media Reviews
"'Cimarron Rose'...the first book in a projected series about a country lawyer named Billy Bob Holland, imposes the same strict honor code that made Dave Robicheaux such a stand-up guy....But set in a new context, in a world as richly detailed and closely studied as the one back yonder, the old battles between good and no-good take on a crack-of-dawn freshness....This is fertile territory for Burke." -- Marilyn Stasio
-- New York Times Book Review
"All the roiling intensity of the Robicheaux stories. Even the ragged ends make other mystery novels look anemic."
-- Kirkus

Publisher's Notes
Texas attorney and former Texas Ranger Billy Bob Holland has many secrets in his dark past. Among them is Vernon Smothers' son Lucas, a teenaged boy about whom only Vernon and Billy Bob know the truth. Lucas is really Billy Bob's illegitimate son, and when Lucas is arrested for murder, Billy Bob knows that he has no choice but to confront the past and serve as the boy's criminal attorney. During Lucas's trial, Billy Bob realizes that he will have to bring injury upon Lucas as well as himself in order to save his son. And as a result, Billy Bob creates enemies that are far more dangerous than any he had faced as a Texas Ranger.

Cimarron Rose
Burke, James Lee
Very Good. Paperback. Mass-market paperback 1998 Hyperion. Superclean; no marks or creases; pages bright; binding tight. Only light wear. 406 pages. Language: English. 'Billy Bob Holland, former Texas Ranger turned lawyer, is a man with a past, and when a teenager is arrested for the murder of his girlfriend, that past makes its presence felt. Billy Bob agrees to defend Lucas Smothers, knowing that the boy is his illegitimate son and realizing that the trial will bring pain to both of them. ... By moving west, Burke has given new dimension to his familiar theme of a rugged individual in conflict with himself. Issues of independence versus community have long reigned supreme in the literature of the West, and Burke draws on that tradition effectively, contrasting the dusty desperation of an intolerant Texas town with the pioneer spirit of Billy Bob's ancestors. Both similar to and different from the Robicheaux books, Cimarron Rose is a fine, multitextured novel, full of Burke's lilting, elegiac prose and unflinching in its portrait of the human heart in turmoil.'--Bill Ott, Booklist.

Burke, James Lee
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Hyperion Press, 1998 Soft cover with illustrated paper wraps is in FINE condition (new). Book is in protective, plastic Dura-Saver cover. By the author of "Cadillac Jukebox." Texas attorney Billy Bob Holland has many secrets in his dark past. Among them is his illegitimate son, Lucas Smothers. When Lucas is arrested for murdering his girlfriend, Holland knows that he has no choice but to try to save the boy, regardless of what it may mean to his own -- or the boy's reputation. The boy is a country musician, abused by his stepfather and haunted by the possibility that he did, indeed, commit the murder in a drunken black-out. But Billy Bob knows the propensity of the small Texas town to make scapegoats of the innocent, and to exploit and sexually abuse those who are without power. The dead woman was with Lucas the night she died. Everyone knows that. But they were also with the East Enders -- the kids from the good homes with the rich daddies, whose morals are as loose as their pocketbooks. Lucas doesn't want Billy Bob to drag the dead girl's name through the mud, but Billy Bob knows that he'll need to do much worse if he is to save his son's life.. First Edition/First Printing Stated. Soft Cover. Fine/Issued No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Illustrated Paper Wraps. ( more information) Offered by Chozen Books (United States)
