At the wildly popular Enchanted Rock State Natural Area near Fredericksburg, Texas, Park Police Officer Maurice Neunhoffer is faced with a series of challenges: a man-eating mountain lion, a shadowy camper living in the back of the park,a pregnant wife, and the threat of revenge by a Mexican drug cartel; all coming just months before his position is to be eliminated by budget cuts.

The story is fiction, but the place is real.
