If Possum County wasn't the smallest, poorest, and dustiest county in Texas, they probably wouldn't even have a sheriff like Skunk Johnson. But they do, and the new sheriff is out to prove he's up to the challenge when he finds himself with an unusual murder on his hands. During the investigation, Sheriff Skunk discovers that even in the Badlands of Texas, greed can run deeper than a man with high moral standards and a respect for the letter of the law can deal with. Fortunately, Skunk isn't that kind of man, and for once in his life he just might be in the right place at the right time...

Kelly Johnson designed the Blackbird, a plane that flew non-stop from London to Los Angeles in less than four hours, outracing the sun and landing four hours before it had taken off, a remarkable feat--and this was more than 35 years ago. Johnson was the innovative genius behind Lockheed's "Skunk Works," and played a leading role in the development of more than forty aircraft, including some of America's most sophisticated planes. In 2003, as part of its commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' flight, an Aviation Week & Space Technology poll ranked him 8th on its list of the "Top 100 Stars of Aerospace" in the first century of flight, just behind the Wright brothers, Leonardo Da Vinci and Charles Lindbergh. The president of Lockheed once said: "That damned Swede can actually see air." Award-winning author Daniel Alef tells the remarkable tale of the man who garnered 35 major awards for his aviation feats, including the Medal of Freedom, and brought us to the edge of space. The Johnson profile includes a timeline, a short bibliography and links to videos of his aircraft including the Constellation, Shooting Star, F-104, U-2 and the SR-71 Blackbird.
