Book Cover & Preview Text
I tried to conceal the shakiness of my hand as I reread the letter twice more. A date had been scrawled at the bottom. October 13, thirty-two years ago. The same day that Sarah had died. Three years after the last time I saw Sarah Copeland, then Guthrie, at our ten-year class reunion. That ten-year reunion had been the last time, before yesterday, that I had set foot in this town.
"From that date, Kristal said, "my granny lived only a few more hours. She got killed by a hit-and-run driver on a country road. They never found the person who hit her."

About the Book
When retired army colonel Tom Morgan returns to his hometown for his 45th high school class reunion, he is handed a long-misplaced letter from his former lover that intimates something bad may happen to her. She had died, in a somewhat suspicious circumstance, the same day she had written the letter. At the same time, taking place in the community was the kidnapping and ransom demand for a little girl, who later is discovered dead. Morgan embarks on his own investigation into the coincidence of the proximity of the two events and uncovers local corruption and cover-ups. The deeper involved he becomes, the more likely it is that Morgan will not be allowed to leave town alive. Harking back to his days as an Army Ranger, Morgan is forced into battle with superior numbered and heavily-armed opponents.
