This is the third book in the Texas trilogy of the Leigh brothers. In the last story we are left with Austin going to prison for killing someone who he didn't kill. When he gets out he finds that 5 years is a really long time to be gone. His promised love has married another and there are a lot of changes that he doesn't understand.In addition some people don't think 5 years was long enough for him to be in prison, and try to kill him.He sets out to Austin to find who the real killer is but along the way he finds a kindred spirit and the closest friend he has ever had.I admit that I saw the ending coming long before the ending but how it was dealt with was wonderful and helped to lead to the story.
