I enjoyed Wayfaring Stranger by James Lee Burke which is set mainly in post WWII Texas. Veteran, Weldon Holland and his friend Hershel Pine, whose life Weldon saved, start a business with a new welding system used by the Germans. They also both witnessed the death camps and saved an almost dead Jewish woman, Rosita. Weldon's grandfather, Hackberry Holland lives with him and is his mentor. Powerful people in the oil industry try to take over their company by criminal means so it is a constant struggle between good and evil. Burke is always a good read. 4/5
