William Crow Johnson

Vengeance William Crow Johnson

A beloved elderly farmer is shot in the back of the head on the way back from his mail box. A nine-year-old girl is shot in the forehead during school recess. A parking-lot gal at Big Iva's Truck Stop gets it from three hundred yards away. Big, easy-going Sheriff Tip Tungate doesn't have a clue. But he must stop the killing. This is not supposed to happen in Sedalia, seat of Howarth County, Indiana, not far north of the Ohio River. Pressure mounts. Big Iva blames him: not doing his job. The FBI is after him: supposed racketeering with Big Iva. His deputy maneuvers to undercut him. His estranged daughter calls from New York. Can she come home? She's receiving death threats. Then the ball-busting, governor's-protégé young prosecutor throws him under the bus. No gun, no badge. To protect his town and his family he has to go rogue. The Russian mob. Blackmail. Revenge. Past deeds. Political vendettas. Dirty FBI. War. Karma. It all comes home to roost.
