Mystery
Sylvia Thorn, circuit court judge in Palm Beach County,
Florida, takes
an unexpected trip to her hometown of Sangamon City,
Illinois when
her older brother, Willie Grisseljon, is confined to a
county hospital
for a psychiatric evaluation. A Vietnam vet with lingering
side
effects from the war, Willie finds a body while he's on
vacation.
When he tries to report his discovery to a deputy sheriff,
he is locked
up as a vagrant with delusions. Willie insists on returning to the site where the body is
hidden before
notifying the sheriff. Soon he and Sylvia discover clues
about the
murdered businessman, his wife, a tenant farmer, concealed
Indian
artifacts, and uprooted stands of prairie grass that may
help the
sexy sheriff find the murderer. But Sylvia runs into
trouble when
she's caught nosing around the old homestead. She hides
from the
gun-toting suspects and overhears another murder. Two more
narrow escapes, and Sylvia just wants to go home. Relieved when the sheriff lets them return to Florida,
Sylvia doesn't
realize at first that she and her brother are still in danger. A
mysterious new neighbor with a menacing bodyguard, and new
information Sylvia finds in her legal system database,
provide clues
that could solve the murders. Sylvia uses her law enforcement
contacts, as well as Willie's intuitive skills, to provide
the missing
links to state and federal authorities, even though she is
forced to
make a drastic change in her life as a result.
