The second, breath-taking crime novel in the acclaimed Lee Henry Oswald series. "Truly satisfying...Hunsicker's characters take on a life of their own and his action is amazing." Crimespree Magazine

Dallas PI Lee Oswald is busy working for a preacher, looking for a stolen file, when he agrees to help a state senator who is being threatened - if the politician doesn't change his vote on a controversial environmental bill, his family will be killed, one by one, until he does. The two cases violently converge, making Oswald both a target for killers and wanted by the police for a murder he didn't commit. The only way out is to confront a dark secret from his past that could destroy him.
