Two for Texas by James Lee Burke

Son Holland and Hugh Allison have only one thing in common, they escaped from prison together. Running from the law isn't easy, and Son and Hugh have a lot to learn. With one prison guard left for dead, Hugh and Son have to go as far as they can to avoid being put back behind bars in a Louisiana jail. What ensues is a whirlwind trip from Louisiana to Texas, where they collide with flavorful characters and life-threatening circumstances. With the word of their escape travelling fast, the only hope they have of freedom is by becoming key players in the Texas Revolution.
