Jarrett Creek is bankrupt. Gary Dellmore, heir apparent to
the main bank, is dead, apparently murdered. Samuel
Craddock thought he was retired but now he's been asked to
return as police chief. Dellmore supposedly had a roving
eye, although his wife says he was never serious about
dallying. Still, Craddock wonders: Did the husbands and
fathers of women he flirted with think he was harmless?
What
about his current lover, who insists that Dellmore was
going
to leave his wife for her?
Craddock discovers that Dellmore had a record of bad
business investments. Even worse, he took a kickback from a
loan he procured, which ultimately drove the town into
bankruptcy. Many people had motive to want Dellmore dead.
Then the investigation turns up another crime. As Craddock
digs down to the root of this mess, many in Jarrett Creek
are left wondering what happened to the innocence of their
close-knit community.
