In order to secure an eight million dollar insurance claim for Frances Holderman, all Tony Boudreaux had to do was prove to Universal Life Insurance Company that his client was not responsible for the death of her husband, a local school district superintendent.

What should have been a simple matter of confirming her alibi exploded in his face, leading Tony into a maze of suspects, each of which had his own reasons for murdering the superintendent; a tangle of faculty indiscretions, and the hidden world of high school drugs.

To further complicate the investigation, Tony's nephew, Stewart Thibodeaux, breezed into Austin with lofty dreams of becoming a drug lord, only to wind up on the wrong end of an executioner's bullet.
