Unrepentant Cowboy (2013)
“The change suited him. Once the sun set, his blood seemed to run hotter and his energy level climbed.
His mother used to joke that he was like a vampire who came to life when the sun went down. She’d been partly right. Another side of him did awake fully at night, but it didn’t fully disappear when the sun came up.
He settled in the chair, popped a small white pill and washed it down with a swig of cold beer. Alcohol and medication didn’t mix. His psychiatrist had warned him of that all... the time back when the shrink was still supplying the prescription.
Now he got a different kind of pill and a different kind of high without having to pretend to listen to the arrogant bastard who thought a couple of college degrees made him a god.
After reaching for the remote, he kicked back and turned on the evening news. It was a minute or two early, but coverage of Jill Trotter’s murder might get top billing.MoreLess
