Survivors Will Be Shot Again: A Dan Rhodes Mystery (Sheriff Dan Rhodes Mysteries, 23) by Crider, Bill. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781250078520.

Theres no such thing as a day off for a sheriff. Even in a small Texas town like Clearview, theres always something going on for law enforcement. Still, most days dont involve a run-in with an alligator. And thats not the worst of Sheriff Dan Rhodess troubles, either. Theres a dead man in Billy Bacons barn, though Bacon swears he doesnt know how the body got there. Rhodes is a bit skeptical, given that the intruder has been shot twice and that Bacon has recently removed a sign from a fencepost near the barn, a sign that says "Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again." The citizens of Clearview have been complaining about a rash of thefts, and Rhodes suspects that the dead man may have been involved in them. But before he can solve that crime, he also has to deal with a number of other puzzling crimes in the community, ranging from a holdup at a convenience store to the disappearance of a loaf of bread. And then theres the dang gator. In Bill Criders Survivors Will Be Shot Again, Sheriff Dan Rhodes learns that, as the old saying goes, crime doesnt pay. But it also doesnt take a vacation.
