Purgatory

When Theo and Liddy retired to the small Georgia town of Shiloh, they expected a quieter life, but then Theo became the investigative reporter for the local paper and discovered that small towns can be just as dangerous as big cities for people devoted to seeking the truth. Having narrowly escaped a brush with death, Theo tackles what he hopes will be an easier investigation: helping the orphaned Pepper trace her murderous mother's past. But when an armored limousine purchased by Theo's friend and neighbor Zeb brings another spate of shady characters to Shiloh, Theo finds himself in the middle of another high-pressure plot, building to an explosive conclusion at the town's Independence Day celebrations.
