In a small rural county near Omaha, Nebraska, murderers, carjackers, and rapists are walking around free. Al Voldecker, an unusual doctor with a so-called "violence cure" claims that his ex-cons are no longer capable of aggression. Many of the local folks argue that Voldecker is right. Even the sheriff points out that there has been no violent crime in Green County during the five years that Voldecker's unique parole center has been in operation. But things have suddenly changed...threats...murders...and an unidentified killer is running loose.
Mourning the untimely and mysterious death of his father, Zed Taggert, resident of California and former LA cop, returns home. As Taggert hunts for the ruthless Green County killer, he is drawn to smart, sexy, Lucinda Slater, and he fears that she has become the murderer's next target. Can Taggert save her before it's too late?
