<p>Highly recommendedForty years ago the Jefferson Training School housed boys who went astray in an attempt at rehabilitating them and preventing them from receiving a jail sentence. The boys became rough, and came out of the school even tougher and meaner than when they arrived. The bigger kids picked on the smaller kids. One night two boys got carried away and hit Michael Smith in the back of the head and rolling him in a ditch. When they thought he was dead, they buried him. Years later, a boy's skeleton has been hung from the rugged wooden cross in front the old church at the training school. When an unexpected blizzard turns North Carolina hazardous, cutting off power and transportation Sheriff Sharyn Howard doesn't expect Beau Richmond to burst into the door of the sheriff's office screaming his guilt. Beau is one of Diamond Spring's leading citizens. His charitable awards and good deeds are legendary. Despite his confused and distraught demeanor, Beau declares his guilt regarding the death of Michael Smith forty years ago. An hour later, deputies find Beau hanging from a corner beam, a chair knocked out from under his feet. Further examination proves Beau suffocated after he hung himself, and his neck wasn't broken. Chances are that someone murdered him right there in the conference room of the sheriff's office. Sharyn knows first hand how quickly an investigation can go astray and charge the wrong man with a crime. Before her officers come under further scrutiny, she must discover the truth of a small boy's death forty years ago, and how it leads not only to Beau Richmond. Further, Sharyn finds herself embroiled in the political shenanigans of DA's office while trying to protect her own office staff.</p>
