One thing Deborah Knott knows for sure. Just when everything is going great - up jumps the devil. In this case he's Allen Stancil, a black sheep back in North Carolina after one of the Stancil clan - rednecks all and proud of it - gets shot to death. Then another Stancil murder makes Allen suspect number one and Deborah Knott one worried woman.
She and Allen share an old secret. Now the only way she can keep tit buried is to dig up the real killer, or her career - and maybe her life - is headed straight to hell...
