Opis

Rollie was ready to spend time with his new friend, Sheriff Deputy Joan Travis. His partner, Drake Fargo could handle things for a week or two. Drake was still recovering from a bullet wound to the foot but could sit at a desk as good as anyone. Rollie flew Joan Travis to California from her home in South Carolina and planned to spend two weeks romanticizing her. They had created a unique bond on his last case and he was looking forward to expanding on their romance. Before he could get out of town, 15-year old Rachel came to hire him. She had $73.44 and told him she was the sister of the crazy man Rollie had killed in South Carolina. Bobby G, as he was known, was indeed certifiable, but Rachel wasn't angry. Rachel said she had three brothers; one was dead, one on the run from the law, and the other in prison for a murder he didn't commit. Rachel said the courts found Buck guilty of killing a woman he loved, super star Megan Clare, a world-renown actress. Rachel told Rollie and Joan her beloved brother Buck was given a bad rap and sent away because he was framed. She was too young to visit or help. Rachel begged, Deputy Joan said it was okay and might be fun to watch Rollie in action, and so Rollie Kemp reluctantly accepted the case. On the surface, it was pretty straight forward, but the more he looked into the situation the more complicated it became. Intense was the only word you could use to describe what happened after Rollie and Joan met Rachel's brother Buck. The next two weeks were, well, explosive.
