Description: Jack Estep's charred, paralyzed body lay in the briars. His secret meth lab had been discovered. Death was imminent. Sheriff Bill Wilson pondered the situation. Nicholas County, Kentucky was suddenly a hotbed of crime. Was Tom Padgett a vigilante? If there were to be a vigilante, it would be him. Tom Padgett's life has been up-ended. Divorced after 25 years, he lost half his pension to his ex-wife and was forced into early retirement from the police force. Tom and his dog, Bella, now share a remote, run-down trailer. Adding to his woes, Sheriff Wilson seems to have it in for him. Since the meth lab explosion near Padgett's trailer, numerous crimes have occurred. Will Wilson finally implicate Padgett, or will Padgett slip Wilson's net?
