Sometimes the Devil you know is better than the one you don’t.That’s a hard truth Sheriff Mary Beth Cain is reluctantly coming to terms with. After ridding Southern West Virginia of her mother, Mamie’s, hillbilly crime syndicate, Mary Beth has created a power vacuum that’s filled by a better-financed and much more ruthless drug operation headquartered out of Detroit. The Motor-City mobsters are led by Leonard Velino, a vicious killer with a long history of intimidating or eliminating all who oppose him. Witnesses. Jurors. Even cops. Velino is a man the legal system simply isn’t equipped to handle.But Sheriff Cain has never been much constrained by the rules herself. And she has certainly never backed down from a fight. She is willing to go to any lengths to deal with her Detroit problem. The question is: Can Mary Beth protect her community without becoming a criminal herself?What folks are saying...Sometimes the Devil you know is better than the one you don’t.That’s a hard truth Sheriff Mary Beth Cain is reluctantly coming to terms with.
