What Amazon Says:

Clayton Burroughts is a small-town Georgia sheriff, a new father, and improbably, the heir apparent of Bull Mountain's most notorious criminal family.  As he tries to juggle fatherhood, his job and his recovery from being shot in the confrontation that killed his 2 criminally-inclined brothers last year, he's doing all he can just to srvive.  Yet after years of carefully toeing the line between his life in law enforcement and his family, he finally has to make a choice.  When a rival organization makes a first foray into Burroughs territory, leaving a trial of bodies and a whiff of fear in its wake, Clayton is pulled back into the life he so desperately wants to leave behind.  Revenge is a powerful force, and the vaccum left by his brothers' deaths has left them all vulnerable.  With his wife and child in danger, and the way of life in Bull Mountain under siege for everyone, Clayton will need to find a way to bury the bloody legacy of his past once and for all.

This was an okay book.  I picked it up for $2 at a library sale while on vacation.  It was slightly confusing and maybe a bit too much going on for a book under 300 pages.  I should have read the comments on this book before I picked it up to realize it is a sequel to the author's first book (which apparently was quite the hit).  Might have to go back and read that one.
