Commentary
Author Harry Haines's extraordinary curiosity about nearly everything he encounters enhances all that he writes. A keen observer of human nature and a student of the rhythm of the language, his characters carry along spirited mysteries in worlds we think we know.
"Brilliantly evokes the tormented inner life of the cattle business. Texas Panic! is not only an exciting thriller, but also a remarkable moving and human story."
- Charles Ball, former Executive Vice-President,
Texas Cattle Feeders Association
"Texas Panic!, Harry Haines' new thriller, is entertaining and engrossing from the first page to the last, a wild ride through Texas and a possible Mad Cow Disease outbreak. And an unlikely family-man hero, Jim Bob Masterson is a terrific companion to ride with."
- John Lescroart, New York Times' best-selling author of A Plague of Secrets
"Haines is brilliant in his depth of development of characters...[he brings them] to life in such a way that they bond with the reader."
