The brilliant lawyer he hoped to start a relationship with has gone back to her husband. Still McCain tries to enjoy himself during the town's Labor Day weekend party, reuniting with several old friends - until two of them are murdered for what seems to be a motive buried in the past."
  • ""The turbulent sixties are roaring into small town Black River Falls, Iowa, bringing pop culture and bitter politics with them. Attorney and private investigator Sam McCain is part of the revolution, organizing an anti-war rally. It's a polarizing affair led by a charismatic young protester, Harrison Doran. Things turn ugly when the gathering is crashed by Lou Bennett, a powerful local man whose son recently died in Vietnam. Later that same night Mr. Bennett is murdered and Sam reluctantly agrees to defend the prime suspect--Harrison Doran. Sam understands that for a place still clinging to the black-and-white ideals of a fading era, nothing is as simple as it seems. Especially murder. Linking the real motive for Bennett's death to a fire that killed a young woman two years ago, McCain uncovers some dirty business dealings, family skeletons and the dark secrets of a killer on a last, desperate journey"--Publisher's description."@en

The brilliant lawyer he'd hoped to start a relationship with has gone back to her husband in Chicago. And first young soldier from Black River Falls returns home from a strange place called Viet Nam. In a coffin. Against this background McCain tries to enjoy himself during the long Labor Day weekend party the town sponsors every year, reuniting with several old friends who appeared throughout the first six novels. Now that they're all in their late twenties some of the old grudges and rivalries seem silly -- until two of them are murdered for what seems to be a motive buried in the past. With the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan irritating those over thirty -- and the boys in long hair and girls wearing blouses without bras irritating people even more -- Sam McCain is forced to realize that his old world, along with the entire country's, is about to end forever." --cover."@en
