<p><strong>From the author of the award-winning crime thriller <em>Where the Hurt Is.</em></strong></p><p><strong>“This top-notch suspense thriller will seize your attention and you’ll be enthralled by the characters and the author’s witty and appealing style.” –<em>Sublime Book Review</em></strong></p><p>The residents of tiny Butcherville Oklahoma love their God-given freedoms so much they refuse to hire their own police force. When they need a cop they just call Emmett Hardy police chief of Burr the closest neighboring town. Whether it’s to break up a fight dissuade an angry good ol’ boy from hunting rabbits with an M-16 or eject an unruly patron from Butcherville’s combination strip joint/bookstore Emmett’s always glad to oblige … that is until a local business owner’s lust for money and power results in a deadly shootout and multiple kidnappings. Suddenly Emmett’s good intentions are fraught with dangerous consequences. Besieged by friend and foe alike and sabotaged by a fondness for drink that’s starting to affect his work Emmett is the last man standing between a community of honest people trying to do their best with what little they have and an evil that threatens not only their jobs and homes but their very lives.</p>
