The war is over, and the world is trying to return to normalcy in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Jake Fisher is back, alive and kicking–and he is working in Hunter’s Run High School again– but this time as its security officer. Along with help from SRO Sheriff’s Deputy Matt Miller, Jake takes on his first case–a hit and run car accident that has resulted in the tragic death of a local family. At first it seems like a simple case for the rookie sleuth, but the deeper Jake digs into the identity of the murderous driver and his motivation, the more convoluted the mystery becomes. Jake must dodge hired killers bent on hiding long-held secrets by an all-too-familiar nemesis. The Badger must enlist the help of old alliances to protect his client and himself from a well-armed enemy with deep pockets.
