Sylvester Bradshaw owns the Bouree restaurant, home of the best catfish within a hundred miles of Brenham, Texas. Besides being known for his cooking and for being one of the town's nastiest residents, he also happens to have invented a machine that several venture capitalists and one former NFL star would like to invest in at almost any cost. But Bradshaw—-stubborn and miserly—-can't be enticed no matter what offer they put on the table. Nobody gets a look and nobody gets to know how the device works, not even his family.
When the restaurant is ransacked and he goes missing, the only person willing to take his disappearance seriously is Jeremiah Spur. The retired Texas Ranger and rancher is a dedicated customer, if not a friend, which makes him the only man on whom the Bradshaws can pin their hopes.
James Hime's Where Armadillos Go to Die eloquently captures the voice and spirit of a small Texas town with troubles every bit as big as the whole state, making for some of the most engaging crime fiction on bookshelves today.

Where Armadillos Go to Die
Restaurant owner Sylvester Bradshaw is a curmudgeon who believes he's invented a process that improves the taste and shelf-life of food, but he doesn't want to give up control (over the invention or over his downtrodden family) by dealing with marketers. When Sylvester disappears mysteriously, his daughter asks retired Texas ranger and small-scale rancher Jeremiah Spur to find him. Jeremiah is concerned that his wife has come down with food poisoning, but his presence in her hospital room makes her fidgety, so he goes looking for traces of Bradshaw. Meanwhile, the town's one genuinely rich man, a retired African American athlete, is trying to keep his unruly family under control while finding some new investment possibilities. More and more people get involved in the case, including Spur's kindly old family doctor, who is behaving very oddly, and the Hispanic D.A., who has her sights set on higher office. Really enjoyable.
