Fort Worth's Doug Swanson is pulling the plug on his Jack Flippo series, which makes House of Corrections (Putnam) your last chance to dance with the charming wild man. Flippo is all the more endearing for his faults (e.g., a propensity for sharing wives not his own). And this is a worthy send-off, with Flippo at large in Galveston, dodging the wreckage of a drug heist gone bad. Safe journey, Jack. If you change your mind, we'll save a seat at the bar.

House of Corrections: Doug Swanson, published by Putnam.
