"Buckner looked into the wagon bed at the body, which now lay on
its back, one bold onlooker having turned it to facilitate the
viewing. He nodded in agreement. His lips twisted in disgust, and
he found himself wondering again why he had taken a job that
required him to look at the bodies of people dead by violence. "
James Buckner, the new police chief of Corinth, Missouri, must
root out corruption and incompetence in his department, hire new
officers, and avoid the pitfalls of small-town politics. When a boy
playing hooky from school discovers a woman's body under the snow
at the train station, Buckner drops everything else to focus on
this startling development.
During his investigation, he relies on the help of his friends,
Dr. Jeff Peck, black saloonkeeper Elroy Dutton, and the attractive
vice-principal of Corinth High School, Judith Lee. Buckner
discovers the dead woman is a local farmer's mother, but he faces
red tape when the county sheriff warns him not to go out of his
jurisdiction in questioning potential suspects. However, it's when
Buckner hires two black police officers in the strongly Southern
town of Corinth that he faces potential career suicide.
Can Buckner find the murderer and save his job before racial
tensions explode?
