description: Deputy Sheriff Carl Houseman returns for the latest instalment in the fast-paced crime series. In a rural part of Nation County, the body of a dead male is discovered in a ditch with one gunshot wound to the head. What appears to be a routine investigation for Carl Houseman and his team turns into a mysterious case, as they learn that there is no way of identifying the dead no fingerprint records, no dental records, nothing. This is the cue for an FBI investigator to enter the scene; a new face from the bureau, who suspects it is the body of a Columbian terrorist. Meanwhile, a local meat-packing plant has been accused of passing off contaminated produce. In a town straining under the pressure of mass immigration, the Jewish plant owners suspect foul play. Can there be a connection with the Columbian corpse? Houseman and FBI agent Hester Gorse chase the leads once again in another nail-biting race to discover the truth.
