• A star collegiate quarterback who is murdered before his senior season.

  • Police who don’t have any real clues.

  • An exotic and mysterious woman who keeps her secrets.

  • A small religious cult with big ideas for the future.

Mitch Sawyer, hard-bitten police reporter for the Nashville Daily Tribune, encounters all of these and more as he covers the murder of Jimmy Chin Lee. But Mitch has to battle demons of his own, both in his personal and professional lives. His first ex-wife is trying to cut off contact with his daughter, and he and the editor of the Daily Trib can never see eye-to-eye.

And then there’s the lead homicide detective investigating Jimmy Chin’s death. Does he want Mitch to be the victim in his next murder case?

Jim Stovall, in his debut novel, weaves all these elements into an intense and taut drama that will keep the reader turning the pages to find out: who killed the quarterback?
