As a born-again Christian, Trent feels a divine calling to save Billy—save him from his circumstances, and save his soul.Then Billy’s abuser is found murdered in the Lowe family trailer, and all evidence points toward Billy. Now nothing can stop an explosive chain of violence that could tear the whole town apart on the eve of the playoffs.WINNER OF THE PETER LOVESEY FIRST CRIME NOVEL CONTEST
