In the dark of night, murder strikes on Route
66, and once again Hubert James Champion III finds himself having to face
realities he’d rather run from. Indeed, within two days, Hugh finds himself embroiled
in murder on a national scale, seeking justice for petty-crimes of a local
nature—and very close to home, reviving his skills as a psychologist to help
people who have become friends.
Indeed, his friends need him.
In addition, there are troubling mysteries of
the personal kind still tucked away in the recesses of Hugh’s subconscious. He
may be still “hiding out” in the desert, but East Coast ties continue to haunt
and thwart his building hopes for the future.
