A relaxing country drive turns into a murder investigation when detective Ken Shannon discovers a corpse in a highway ditch—complete with a mysterious calling card from Nick Giles' cafe. As Shannon digs into the case of Tommy Giles' death, he uncovers a web of jealousy, false leads, and insurance schemes that forces him to race against time to the truth before someone else pays the price.

Inspector Marty Denver faces a desperate criminal calling himself "The Walking Death"—a bank robber strapped with dynamite who threatens to level half the town unless Denver lets him steal the Caswell payroll. When the criminal forces the armored truck toward an oncoming freight train at a dangerous crossing, Denver must rely on quick thinking and psychological nerve to outmaneuver a man who seems willing to blow them both sky-high. It's a tense game of bluff and counter-bluff that tests whether the inspector's deductions about his opponent are sharp enough to save the day.

With enemies closing in from the sea and the land beyond, Trask discovers that protecting the cargo—and keeping Tarya safe—will test every skill in his T-Man arsenal.
