Jac soon discovers that someone doesn't want anyone — especially a lawyer — digging around this case. And they'll stop at nothing to make sure Larry's execution goes ahead on schedule. Now Jac must decide whether he's prepared to risk his career, his reputation and his life to save a man who, by his own admission, is a murderer . .

The pastor fears that the life of his missing buddy is in great danger, so he decides to conduct his own investigation, especially in relation to the coincidental murder of the old man. While the cop's abrupt departure becomes increasingly suspicious, the beleaguered cleric experiences thorny confrontations with disappointed parishioners, infuriated citizens, frustrated in-laws, fundamentalist adversaries, and one extremely dangerous enemy!

Damage to a Russian aircraft carrier leads to a breakdown in the detente with the United States. Star wars erupt as the two countries invoke space-based weapons in a deadly face off in orbit.
