Summary

When his father, the San Remo County Sheriff, falls ill, Buddly Steel returns home to step in as acting sheriff. He never expects to face off against the kind of deeply crooked criminal he used to take on daily as an LAPD detective. But the California Coastal Commission sends him after a reclusive Russian billionaire who has repeatedly violated state law for obstructing public access through his vast beachfront property, and Buddy finds himself caught between the law and unexpected political forces that do not respond well to enforcement. At the same time, a string of random murders in the normally sleepy town of Freedom, a wealthy enclave up the coast from Los Angeles, places the Sheriff's Department on high alert as it seeks to apprehend a serial killer whose crimes are so perfectly executed they leave no forensic evidence.
