In the short story "Fetching Raymond," Inez Graney and her sons Butch and Leon drive to see the youngest brother, now on death row in the state prison, on what may be their last such trip. I found the story enjoyable, and rated it with 4 stars. The story is included in the collection "Ford County - Stories", but is available as a single item in Kindle format. (

An inconsequential short story which surprisingly fails on many fronts especially when considering who wrote it. Of all his plots this one is pedestrian, predictable and foolish to say the least. Fortunately it's very short! (

Didn't realize until I got into it that it was a part from another I already read. I hate when they do that :( (

Convicted for murder he is trying to convince himself and family he is innocent. He was wrong and will pay the price (

Available at DailyLit.

If you already have read any book by this author, consider this more than enough because the plots hardly change from one book to another. (
