When a young boy runs away from Sweetwater Ranch--the home that ex-football star "Big John" Fearson operates for troubled youth--private eye Morgan Hunt investigates charges of abuse at the modern-day Boys Town. Reprint.
Morgan Hunt is a Viet Nam vet rescued from a prison sentence by the intersession of attorney Nat Semmes, for whom he now works as intermittent investigator. He finds a boy who has run away from a boys home and then is drawn into a brutality lawsuit brought against the ex-football player running the home by a psychopathic ex-resident and an opportunistic lawyer.
