And then a young man, arrested on a routine traffic stop with more than $200,000 in his trunk, is forcibly sprung from jail after Sheriff Don Lee is brutally assaulted. Throwing caution aside, Turner goes in pursuit to Memphis, unleashing ghosts he thought he had left behind, and endangering all that matters to him now.--From publisher description.Struggling to come to terms with his past, Turner, a burnt-out Memphis cop turned rural deputy sheriff, goes on the rampage when the local sheriff is seriously wounded during a jail break, following the perpetrators' trail back to Memphis, where he findshimself taking on the mob and confronting his own past.
