In the aftermath of Baird Taggert's untimely demise, things around Tumbleson County have gone back to... well... what passes for normal in Not-Mississippi anyway. In between baseball, a bank holiday, and business deals, the biggest story around Youngtown is the recent capture of serial killer Otis Lee, also known as the Rambler - but it's not his capture that's making news. Instead, it's the peculiar lack of action against Mr. Lee, who is as guilty as they come, that has the town in a tizzy. Rumor has it that the investigation has gone awry and no one involved, county, state, or federal, wants to take the blame or point a finger. Fortunately, however, Tumbleson's two "top" law enforcement agents have stepped into help... and stepped into a whole heap of trouble in the process.
