"Durwood Oak Jones is a man of few indulgences. One he does allow is a standing ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine soliciting 'injustices in need of attention.' This month's bundle of letters includes one from Carol Bridges, mayor of the dusty, blue-collar town of Chickasaw, Texas. For nearly a century, Chickasaw has relied on the jobs and goodwill of Hogan Consolidated, a family-run manufacturer of industrial parts. Now East Coast lawyers and investment bankers have taken aim at the company. The citizens of Chickasaw fear it may be acquired or bankrupted, leading to massive layoffs -- effectively destroying the town. Durwood and his trusty bluetick coonhound, Sue-Ann, fly to Texas to see what can be done. They find a young CEO born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Factory workers with hammers. A good woman, Carol Bridges, who knows her town is being cheated but can't get to the bottom of how. And lawyers. Dirty, good-for-nothing lawyers."--Back cover.

I like Durwood’s character, though he’s serious, at times bordering on stoic, and I missed the levity Quaid’s character brought to the first book in this series. Still, Durwood is entertaining on his own. And we have Durwood’s loyal sidekick, Sue-Ann, who shines in her doggy-hero role.
While we don’t have the same dynamics here, we do have a fast-moving adventure for Durwood to untangle and make right. He has a firm sense of justice and isn’t about to stop, regardless of what or who gets in his way.
Dear Durwood is the second book in the Third Chance Enterprises series, but it reads well as a stand-alone.
