I USED TO BE A TEXAS RANGER by ROBERT J. GOSSETT
"Follow John King, as he transforms himself from an honors law student at the University of Texas in Austin into a bounty hunter. This was necessary in order to track down and punish the four men who brutally murdered his parents, and gang raped and beat his younger sister, reducing her to a vegetative state. He searches all over Texas and Mexico until he catches up with the killers and the ex law partner of his father, who stole the family fortune."--Cover.
