Someone is trying to kill Carl Fletcher, and for the life of him he can't figure out why. After an apparent hit and run accident that cost the life of his fiancee, the full use of his right leg, and his career. While Carl is out of town another attempt is made on his life. Mike McCaffery, Carl's ex-partner in the Sheriff's Department of Lake County, Wisconsin, is not happy to find that the department is doing little to find out who is hunting Carl. With the help of Carl's Internet-addicted mother (who has been known to carry a side arm in her shopping bag) set out to find out who wants Carl dead and stop them. This group is joined by several volunteer sleuths who, between bouts of gunfire and legal shenanigans discover not only their quarry, but also a little romance."
