Former Sen. Larry Dixon, R-Montgomery, was one of the first state legislators to switch to the Alabama Republican Party and spent much of his 27 years in the Alabama Senate fighting for government transparency measures. https://t.co/Tjt2peFtxw #alpolitics

Mine, too! I’m not super fond of her Sherlock Holmes cycle, but a couple of them were fun. My cousin met her and Larry Dixon a couple few years ago in Seattle and got me a signed copy of The Serpent’s Shadow, though. *Grin.
