When a teenage runaway she has befriended inadvertently witnesses an otherwise unreported mob-style murder, Susan Fitzsimmons puts in a call to her lawyer friend Tom McInnes. He makes a cursory inquiry through the local sheriff's office, only to trigger unexpectedly swift and forceful retaliation. The situation deteriorates from bad to worse as Tom and those close to him stir up several homets' nests worth of trouble across the Alabama Panhandle on their way to an ultimate and deadly showdown. With riveting action and perfect pacing, Mike Stewart follows through on the promise so evident in his mystery debut Sins of the Brother.
