Riley County Kansas Sheriff James Early finds himself matching wits with two antagonists in this crime novel, the son of friends – the son who robbed a bank – and a man who murdered his wife, the first determined not to be caught, the second determined not to be discovered.
In the summer and fall of 1949, Kansas Sheriff James Early investigates the heinous murder of a schoolteacher and pursues a bank robber as intent on remaining free as Early is on capturing him.
This historical mystery takes on the aspects of an international thriller when an Israeli soldier/diplomat appears, intent on killing the person who killed the teacher, a woman he had worked with three years earlier in the war to establish modern-day Israel.

Before his investigation is over, a friend will be killed while helping Early, and Early will see it as his fault, that he was responsible.
