description: New York Times best-selling author Steve Thayer introduces Deputy Sheriff Pennington of Kickapoo Falls, Wisconsin, in a gripping story of sex, politics, and betrayal--where the lust for power leads one man through the explosive secrets of a small town. Maggie and Michael Butler are found naked and very dead in a wheat field, murdered by two vicious gun blasts. It’s up to Pennington to find the killer. Convinced that the answer lies in the wheat field and in a missing reel of movie film, he is close to shutting the door on this investigation. But this is bigger than he imagined as the door re-opens into a far-reaching assassination plot set for election night.
