Description
Summary:"After years at war, Army Ranger Quinn Colson returns to the rugged hill country of northeast Mississippi to find his native Tibbehah County overrun by corruption, decay, meth dealers, and violence. His uncle, the longtime county sheriff, is dead. A suicide, he's told, but others -- like tomboy deputy Lillie Virgil -- whisper murder. In the days that follow, it will be up to Colson to discover the truth -- about his uncle, his family, his friends, his town, and himself. Then there's no going back for this real hero of the Deep South."--Provided by publisher.
