Barry Clayton has a job he doesn't want. When his father is
stricken with Alzheimer's, Barry leaves the Charlotte police force
for the small mountain community of Gainesboro, North Carolina,
where his family runs the local funeral home. ""Buryin' Barry""
reluctantly assumes the mantle of town undertaker, trying to fit
his life into this somber profession.
Almost at once it turns deadly. At the graveside service for an
elderly woman, a grieving grandson strides in like Clint Eastwood
in a duster, rips out a shotgun, and murders his family. Then the
shooter turns the weapon on Barry. ""Take a message to my
grandmother,"" Dallas Willard shouts. ""Tell her they tried to take
the land. Tell her I love her."" The blast hits Barry in the
shoulder.
Barry is not cut from the same black cloth as his father, and his
irreverent wit and independence have already won him the friendship
of the county sheriff, Vietnam War hero Tommy Lee Wadkins. Besides,
Barry's a police pro. Though his wounds are in the hands of local
surgeon Susan Miller, Barry begins search for both the killer and
the reason for his crime. It isn't long before a second shooting
occurs--but Dallas Willard's body is then discovered at the bottom
of a quarry pond, indisputable evidence that someone else committed
the second crime, someone who now has his sights set on
Barry....
