Blackheart Highway

California P.I. Wil Hardesty is a man whose search for the truth always seems to draw him back into his own troubled past. Doc Whitney was country music star whose career had just gone platinum when he was convicted of brutally killing his wife and young daughters.
Now, twenty years later, their paths collide when Doc is paroled from prison and returns to California's hot, dusty Central Valley … where grudges die hard and the road leads to places best left unexplored. In a town divided over Doc's release, two people recruit Wil. One wants Doc gone permanently. The other claims he's innocent. Through a maze of secrets and lies that threaten crash-and-burn with each passing moment, through switchbacks of twisted loyalties and grim betrayal, Wil must reconstruct a life, discover the real Doc Whitney, track down a killer. And, of course, survive…
