A former federal law enforcement contractor with a somewhat spotty
record, Jon Cantrell has seen--and done--just about everything. Now he's
a sheriff, keeping the peace in small-town Texas. He thought that he'd
finally settled into a quiet, less-complicated life--until his deputy
gets himself murdered. Soon Cantrell's search for the killer points to
an online-dating site designed for extramarital affairs and to a woman
who may have been the unfortunate deputy's last date.
Meanwhile, someone is staging a series of seemingly random attacks on
the regional power grid, and Cantrell is reluctantly pulled back into
the federal fray when he accepts an off-the-books assignment to uncover
the culprit. With the power company and the feds impatient for an
arrest--and clues in his deputy's case pointing to something more
sinister--Cantrell must run parallel, conflicting investigations. But
will he find what he's looking for? Or is he about to take a fall?
