It all comes down to one last case… and the clock is ticking.
Rumor has it Fen Maguire doesn’t have what it takes to solve a crime.
Still grieving the death of his wife, with ten days left before his illustrious career as sheriff of Newman County, Texas comes to an end, Fen is in no frame of mind to work a murder case.

As evidence and public sentiment mounts against his own ranch manager, Fen fears he may end his tenure in disgrace. Can he keep an innocent man out of jail? Or will the rumors of Fen’s incompetence prove to be bitterly true?
