The Oklahoma State Police is in turmoil. A ruthless gang of criminals is terrorizing the countryside, while a high ranking police offical is secretly plotting the vigilante killing of a child molester the DA refused to prosecute. Hank Truman, a chronically insubordinate, but highly decorated detective must stop the outlaw gang's killing spree and neutralize a massive murder cover-up originating at State Police headquarters. Stephen Sealing, haunted by murder of the young girl, must not only avoid prosecution for his execution of her killer, but survive state police assassins dispatched to silence him and the career ending scandal sure to ensnare his superiors. Truman's plodding, yet ingenius investigative techniques are contrasted with Sealing's high-tech approach to survival and counter-intelligence, designed to thwart the murderous intent of a desperate and corrupt police management. The outcome is an explosion of plot twists, murder and betrayal that will keep the reader turning pages to the very end.
