Publisher's Synopsis
It is 1967 and ten years have passed since murder and larceny destroyed the idyllic self-image of 1950s Parlor City. Young Woody has now graduated from college and, with the Vietnam War raging, is anxiously anticipating an induction letter from his local draft board. Spending the summer at the family's lakeside cottage at nearby Parlor Harbor, he is accused of murder by a sheriff who has a decades-long grudge against his stepfather, Det. Billy Meacham, Jr. Tensions mount as powerful forces in Parlor Harbor try to thwart Meacham's efforts to exonerate Woody and find the real killer.
