Publisher's Synopsis
Five years ago, Sean O'Brien's close friend, Joe Billie, stopped a grave robber from unearthing a Seminole Indian burial site. When the same man is recently found dead in the remote swamps of Florida, Billie becomes the prime suspect. To complicate matters more, Billie refuses to tell investigators why he believes he is being set up to take a lethal fall. As the media frenzy in the case builds, the state places Joe Billie on trial for murder. Sean O'Brien thinks he knows why Billie is silent, but proving it will send him deep into Seminole history to uncover a greedy killer hell-bent on creating a modern day Trail of Tears.
