Misjudge

In this case, there was no reverse. There was only hide or die.

In the third installment of the Road's End series, Colonel/Pastor Hugh Foster and his wife, Melanie, are astounded when a nasty man who vowed never to darken their door again does just that. To make matters worse, the man is a member of the Witness Protection Program and is lying low from the kingpin of the largest drug cartel in the Northern Hemisphere.

And now he's in Road's End, Virginia, and might be in more danger from the townsfolk who remember his last visit than from the cartel for being a snitch. Life is not looking up for him.

When Hugh receives word from Special Agent Ross MacElroy that the cartel has sent men (read: assassins) from Florida in the general direction of Virginia, the town has to act quickly to save their not-so-dearly-beloved visitor and themselves from the wrath of very bad men and a particularly nasty woman who are determined to win the bounty the kingpin has put on the snitch's head.

Just a regular day in Road's End.
