Adam Young is in the hospital fighting for his life. His brothers take on all comers with no holds barred action. Their loyalty to each other demands caution be thrown to the winds as they unit to render justice Ono County style. Jim, the runt of the litter, is promoted to leader of the pack when Adam was brutally beaten and left for dead. 10 year-old Adam had toted 3 month-old Jim in a sling on his back as he hoed tobacco to help their mother keep the family together after their father disappeared. Adam’s neck bears ancient scars of a previous deadly attack, which he has kept hidden for a life-time under a turtle necked T-shirt. His purchased of the old farm where the brothers were born inadvertently opens the doors to two unsolved deaths. The purchase alerts a watcher from the shadows who believes murder is his means of cloaking his identity and protecting his empire of corruption. Catherine Throckton died under the wheels of a hit-and-run driver of a new Corvette Stingray as Jim watched from his apartment. Eight years later the car containing the mummified corpse of Justin Rogers, a teenager who disappeared the same night, is discovered in a barn. It isn’t what is owed Adam and Catherine, both of whom made their lives easier, that brings the Young clan home to Ono County, but a sense of honor honed in an ancient code. Will an entrenched cover-up of murder survive a blind-side attack from not one, but seven Young bothers united in a common cause? The Young brothers are determined to use the weapons at their command to dig-out every rat hole to expose the depravity of extortion, fraud, and murder that haunts the living. They do not fight by the Marques of Queensberry’s rules, but execute their own as they seek revenge and justice while staying one step ahead of the law. From the starting line to the finish line Jim Young and his brothers are back in the race with the petal slammed against he metal. The last time he was on the track he lost an eye, will this race co
