When Laura met Scott, they quickly became high school sweethearts. They looked forward to a life filled with happiness, but their dreams darkened when Scott lost his eyesight. Eager to regroup, the couple moves back to Scott's hometown in Carter, Texas. It's just like dozens of other small towns in that part of the state, with an oil company controlling its school systems, police department, and politics.
Not long after they arrive, however, Scott's father, Jack, is found shot dead in his car. The authorities rule it a suicide, and Scott blames himself for his father's death. He thinks that his blindness must have pushed him over the edge.
With her marriage getting worse by the day, Laura begins to have doubts about her father-in-law's suicide. She knows that Jack Sellers was a man who loved himself too much to take his own life. When she questions the deputy sheriff and discovers that he, too, has doubts about the death, she sets out on a mission to catch a killer.
Now, Laura's marriage and her life depend on finding a killer that few people believe exists in Blind Intention.
