While Challis is in town, an extra buried body is discovered when a new grave is dug in the local graveyard.

With two very different crimes to solve, Challis and Destry have their work cut out for them....

The victim is connected, and now Detective Inspector Hal Challis is facing interference from on high. Newly embarked on a relationship with his Sergeant, Ellen Destry, Challis doesn't really need the brass looking over his shoulder. Then a bludgeoned corpse is found outside town, and it's clear something much darker than adolescent craziness is going down....
