✦ Synopsis


Mt. Shasta is far from the San Francisco sidewalk on which Harlan DonnallyΒ’s life nearly ended in a crossfireΒ—

But all too close to a decades-old secret that will force him into another.

The former detective swore heΒ’d never play anyoneΒ’s postman. But a dying friendΒ’s plea takes Donnally bearing a letter alive with tragedy toward a sister long deadΒ—the victim of the bizarre criminality of a counterculture that had lost its way.

Stunned to learn that her killer was never prosecuted, Donnally soon finds himself in battle against a broken justice system and on a trail of evil into a dangerous borderland in which the falsely pious and the wealthy abuse the young and the poor. And though each step takes him farther down a perilous path that wrenches him between his inner demons and his mission to redeem a brotherΒ’s love, he wonΒ’t stop until he knows the truth.

For Donnally made a promise to a dead man, and heΒ’ll keep itΒ—or die trying.
