Ronnie Earle was a Texas legend. During his three decades as the district attorney responsible for Austin and surrounding Travis County, he prosecuted corrupt corporate executives and state officials, including the notorious US congressman Tom DeLay. But Earle maintained that the biggest case of his career was the one involving Frank Hughey Smith, the ex-convict millionaire, alleged criminal mastermind, and Dixie Mafia figure. With the help of corrupt local authorities, Smith spent the 1970s building a criminal empire in auto salvage and bail bonds.

I really enjoyed this book! Big thanks to Jesse Sublett for all the research he put into writing this story! I am so lucky to have been able to meet Jesse, Ike Rabb, and Twila Earle at the Fuller Circle event hosted by the Austin History Center Association. I love the way Jesse brings all of the characters alive in this book. I especially enjoyed reading about Ronnie Earle and what a great leader he was! Bravo Jesse!
