Sledge

Years ago, in a small Virginia town, a murderer hammered his way through the Smythville police force and then disappeared.  He left Officer Mary Walker alive, but he crushed her leg, her confidence, and her spirits.

Now a private investigator, Mary takes sleuthing work as it comes and keeps a watchful eye over her shoulder.  But, during a routine surveillance job on a chilly October night, a ghost from her past leaves her future uncertain.
