Product Description
Ex-cop Vic Kimmler has lost his wife, his job and his self-respect when he learns his estranged father is dead and has left him a stud farm near the Colorado border. With the help of fireman friend Nolan Wulf, Vic packs up his bags and his girls and they leave Kansas City for a new life. They arrive to meet a man named Jinx who runs the diner in a remote place called Denke, the nearest excuse for a town near the farm. Jinx is icy until he recognizes Vic because he looks like his late father. Jinx informs them that things have gone south at the farm Vic inherited, living there is a woman named Myra Callahan with her boy Cal and he strongly hints that all blame lies with them. Vic and Nolan go immediately to confront the two and find a struggling mother and son living on goat’s milk and vegetables from a puny garden because someone has punctured the radiator in her car and cut the land line, leaving them no way to escape or get help. Nightly attacks have left them ter! rified and both are relieved to see ex-cop Vic arrive. Sparks fly between Nolan and Myra but anger and insinuation quickly build a wall between them. Myra wants Vic to understand that all is not as it seems in Denke. The residents operate under a sort of town co-op and they definitely do not take kindly to strangers. But Myra can’t say for sure that the people terrorizing them are from town, because her ex’s wealthy mother wants to take her grandson Cal back to Houston and the only thing standing in her way is Myra. Vic is angry when he learns of an abduction attempt Myra has withheld and he’s even more upset when his two little girls tell him they’re seeing a strange glowing lady in their new house, but he can’t stay that way because Jinx and the town of Denke are opening their arms wide for him and his two little girls. They give him a job, money and a way to regain his self-respect, and soon they’ll be initiating him into the ‘De! nke way of doing things’, which everyone in town has liv! ed under and profited from for a hundred and fifty years. The part they're not telling him is that the borders of the law are quite different in Denke, and if you’re related and your name is in the old family Bible you don’t have a thing to worry about. If you’re not, well…
