Deputy Sheriff Carl Houseman, laconic hero of the bestselling Eleven Days, returns to narrate another fast-paced, quirky police procedural thriller in his own inimitable voice.

As the search gets under way for the killers, an emergency call comes in from a nearby farm where shots have been fired and help is needed fast. As two armed suspects escape across the cornfields, a huge weapons cache is discovered and a hostage situation develops, Houseman finds himself up against a splinter group of right-wing extremists. and a rising number of the known dead.
