The publisher of a family-owned newspaper serving Huhman County, Missouri has been missing for over a year... Until an arm bone found in the woods turns the missing-person case into a homicide investigation. After exposing a false alibi, Sheriff Francis Hood focuses on the surviving family members, but his investigation is not without complications. The victim's stepdaughter, one of Hood's old high-school classmates, has an unsettling ability to remember the events of her life-and the lives of others-in minute detail. Two of the victim's sons actively oppose Hood's efforts to win re-election. And the victim's wife, another son, and a former foster child are reluctant to reveal things that might help Hood close the case. Will the combined stresses of the murder case and re-election campaign derail Hood's ongoing recovery from alcoholism, which is finally gaining traction now that he has reunited with his wife and daughter?
