His two best buddies, Boyd Cotton and Bobby Lee Baxter, both work for Slater, and the three friends schmooze with the rich, talk about geezer sex, rat out local meth heads and try to keep track of a herd of rhinos. Slater is a strong-willed, independent woman whose mere presence upsets parochial Thalia, and Duane can’t quite figure her out. Slater moves in and opens the Rhino Ranch, a sanctuary intended to rescue the nearly extinct African black rhinoceros. Duane, now in his late 60s, is a prosperous and retired widower, lonely in his hometown of Thalia, Tex. , with a top-shelf blend of wit and insight, sharply defined characters and to-the-point prose.
