Below the Surface

Hick Blackburn is falling apart. Last year, the world had been full of hope and promise after solving a murder and corruption case in nearby Broken Creek. Attorney Carol Quinn's uncle, the head of the Civil Rights Section of the Justice Department, had offered both Hick and Carol jobs in DC. Hick had a wife, two boys, and a baby on the way. Now, everything is different. It's as if hope and promise no longer exist. And then Quinn shows up again. This time, it's with a new case to solve and when Hick finds out his friend Father Grant is in the hospital and his church has been torched, he can't say no. But this time, corruption is the least of his problems.

Hick Blackburn se destrama. Anul trecut, lumea fusese plina de sperante si promisiuni dupa ce a rezolvat un caz de crima si coruptie in apropierea Broken Creek. Unchiul procurorului Carol Quinn, seful Sectiei drepturi civile din cadrul Departamentului Justitiei, oferise atat Hick, cat si Carol locuri de munca in DC.
