Blind Trust

Harris County, Texas Homicide Detective Pete Scallion has obsessed for over two decades over what he knows to be a brutal murder on a supposed duck hunting trip to the marshy wetlands east of Galveston Bay. Unable to convince his superiors at the time it was anything other than a tragic accident, Scallion tries to move on with his life and career. That is made harder by the fact the man he knows is a cold-blooded killer, also a member of a wealthy, powerful Houston family, is now moving up the Texas political ladder.
Over twenty years later, having moved up from the rural Chambers County Sheriff's Department to the Harris County Sheriff's Department, a narrow window of opportunity for Scallion presents itself when a former athlete turned gigolo and hustler, a love-starved banker, the Houston underworld and a case of mistaken identity come together to expose the corrupt politician with deadly results. The powerful man is now the Lieutenant Governor, and the detective knows he must be stopped before moving up to the Governor's chair.
