Sinossi

An ex-cop follows a trail of mayhem from Mississippi to Mexico in a taut crime thriller about a man who’s lost his badge, but not his thirst for justice. Former Atlanta cop Dan Stock, who left APD under a cloud of suspicion, has moved to the small Mississippi town of Forrest Springs, where he’s inherited a decrepit mansion. There he gets involved with Cherry Winter, a controversial attorney embroiled in a high-profile case. She’s defending a woman accused of murdering her husband, who was a charismatic pastor. Or so some say . . . When both Cherry and her client are murdered, Stock must uncover the truth behind the killings and in doing so will come face to face with the deranged and the corrupt. Stock’s private war will span from Mississippi to Arizona, and down into the seediest parts of northern Mexico. But all roads lead back to Atlanta and the mystery surrounding his unexpected “retirement” . . .
