Book Description

Ex-cop, ex-con, former therapist Turner has become Deputy Sheriff in the small town where he migrated to escape his past. His life is mending as he and Val Bjorn grow closer. And then a young man, arrested on a routine traffic stop with more than $200,00 in his trunk, is forcibly sprung from jail after Sheriff Don Lee is brutally assaulted. Throwing his caution aside, Turner goes in pursuit to Memphis, unleashing ghosts he thought he had left far behind and endangering all that matters to him now.
