## Out Past the Brazos

##### Jack King is a retired Texas Ranger and former sheriff of Sweetwater, Texas.

 He now lives in the small town of Chance with his dogs Frank and Jesse. When he was sheriff, he was responsible for catching the West Texas Reaper, one of the most notorious serial killers in the southwest.

After catching the Reaper, Jack joined the Texas Rangers and served for 16 years in Fort Worth and Houston before returning to west Texas.

Now, almost 20 years after he first started killing, the famed, lost second graveyard of the West Texas Reaper has been discovered out in the abandoned oil fields of Stonewall County.

Hoping to finally be free of the burden the Reaper placed on his life, Jack heads out to the graveyard hoping to put the matter to rest. But there, he finds something he never expected…
