Patterns

by Fischer G. Hayes

In this third novel, Max Howard must come to terms with where he fits in a world that that no longer appreciates a good pair of boots or moral character over political correctness. Loving a younger woman is not as easy as it sounds and getting along with her and his daughters who think they know what is best for him offers new challenges to a man who is used to living his life his own way. Between fending off intruders intent on killing him for past transgressions, discovering evidence that his mother may have been murdered by his father, and traveling to Erbil, Iraq in search of his son, Max finds once again that getting older does not necessarily bring peace of mind in retirement, even on an isolated ranch in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
