Ben Hope takes and a long overdue holiday. He briefly visits his son before travelling onto Clovis Parish, Louisiana to attend the last concert of a jazz great. In the day before the concert trouble finds him and he is set up for the murder of woman that is the result of revenge going back to the Civil War. But as usual Ben isn't just going to sit there and let things happen the way others want them to and sets out to clear his name and exact his own revenge.

This is an enjoyable book, though it does have a high body count as most books in the series seem to have. It's a violent action thriller that keeps you wanting to know what happens next. Well worth reading.
