Bobby Kicklighter, an 88-year-old Korean War veteran and town historian is murdered in his house.  The investigation uncovers a massive a conspiracy of racketeering, felony murder and other egregious crimes.  The Ring Leader? Nathan Weekes-- already incarcerated at a Georgia Department of Corrections facility.  The murder was a hit-gone-wrong: Weekes had ordered an assassination on a correctional officer for being incorruptible and cracking down on his highly lucrative behind-bars contraband ring.  Who are the co-conspirators?  A former inmate, released on parole, two former correctional officers who turned-- one of whom wound up murdered herself-- and Bryan Adams: the Warden of Smith State prison.  It is an insane story of system bribery and corruption that will boil your blood and curdle it at the same time.  With inmates so rich and powerful that the Warden works for them, no one in Georgia is safe-- with the only honest cops in the system set up to be murdered, how can we expect to retake control?
