All That I Have All That I Have (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
When a Vermont state trooper finds a naked man tied to a tree, for Sheriff Lucian Wing it's the beginning of a run of knotty problems with his mercurial wife, intransigent underlings and Russian mobsters. Wing steers by the advice he was given by his aging mentor, which is 50 percent judicious wisdom and 50 percent cornpone gibberish. Freeman endows his leading man with a likable calm, though, and keeps the action moving crisply along, making "All That I Have" an estimable sequel to his first novel "Go With Me" (2007). From the WASHINGTON POST, 4/29/09 This was a HIGHLY rated book . . . to me, okay but not great. One of its best points is that it has a most unusual format. A homespun, satirical tale about a Vermont sheriff, it is very amusing in spots and a quick read (165 pages in paperback form). I recommend it, if for no other reason than because it is unlike anything I've ever seen in terms of presentation. It is definitely highly original.

Profound and often humorous writing creates a nice ebb and flow to this quick read.
