Fiction, Crime & mystery
An evocative novel set during the Texas revolution from award-winning author James Lee Burke.
With his widely acclaimed novels featuring detective David Robicheaux, James Lee Burke is a bestselling crime novelist. This early novel proves him to be a writer of the American South second to none. Two for Texas is the story of Son Holland and Hugh Allison - two prison escapees from Louisiana - and their whirlwind trip into Texas territory where they collide with more fascinating characters and adventures than they could have imagined possible from within the walls of their gaol cells.
Two for Texas has all the lyrical beauty and powerful storytelling of James Lee Burke at his very best
