Conger got his inspiration for this tale of children murdering children from the tragic James Bulger case in England.
Mr. Finn understands that if he does help his client to locate his son's killers that he might become an accomplice to a crime himself if his client decides to wreak vengeance upon these two men who have served their time and are now living under new identities that were created for them by the US Marshal's Service.
Mr. Finn ends up in Texas where he tracks down both men. Read the book to find out what happens next.
