Ben Rehder

Ben Rehder is a Austin-based author of mystery novels, including Buck Fever (2002), the first in his Blanco County mystery series, which was an Edgar Award finalist.

Education
Rehder graduated from the University of Texas in 1986, and then entered the field of advertising.

Blanco County series
The Blanco County series is about John Marlin, a game warden who partakes in homicide investigations. In addition to serving as mysteries, the series is also a humorous look at the hunting culture of Texas in a satiric style similar to Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey. Publishers Weekly describes it as "confident and vigorous; the tone is quintessentially Texan and relentlessly wry".
