Description

Powhatan Justice, the Resurrection of Crime
A moonless night. The silky ebb of the Powhatan River snakes its way through spooky, overgrown banks. An odd-looking casket-shaped vehicle with its running lights now off slows to a stop in the middle of the railroad trestle bridge. Three men emerge, each wearing a hooded sheet reminiscent of an earlier time. They struggle to wrestle a man-size object out of the bus. The three men carry the object to the side of the bridge and lower it towards the river and then cut the rope. The men return to their vehicle and drive off into the night.

Newspaper reporter Randy Wilkins and his boss, editor Ben LaRue have suspected for some time that the head county commissioner and his gang of thugs have worked tirelessly to convince the voters that their intentions were honorable, but they strongly suspect that ever since they have been in office they have stolen, bullied and killed people who have gotten in their way. But they haven't fooled everybody and now the newspaper will have to garner evidence to publish the truth to convince the citizens of their community of their evil intentions. Their job will not be easy and both realize those in power will do everything they can possibly do to stay in power, even if it means intimidation, murder and kidnapping.

If you like mystery, adventure, romance, and the exposing of corruption and prejudice then come along and enjoy this emotional, fresh as today's headlines story from the ancient home of the Cherokee Indians and the early American settlers searching for freedom and truth.
