Ferris' Bluff

Ace is on the run from everyone! The feds want him back in the Witness Protection Program. An international collection of gangsters and arms-merchants he pissed off working undercover are still looking for him. And worst of all-his own scarred self-image and terrifying nightmares haunt him almost every damn day. After two lonely years on the road he risks a short visit with his old friend, Granville Tubbs, who lives in the sleepy small town of Ferris' Bluff, Arkansas-a town named for a hundred and fifty year old con. Ace hasn't even had a tingle that anyone has been on his trail for almost a year. What could go wrong in a few days? One big honkin' hell of a lot, it turns out! A wary suspicious loner, Ace is soon brought under the spell of the quirky small town and its residents. It seems like almost everybody wants to be his friend. Some of the folks are funny down-home characters you just want to hug. And one in particular, Annie Travers, is a pretty widow with scars and tragic mysteries of her own. And some of the people in Ferris' Bluff are just plain evil-ruthless and crafty and mean as junk-yard dogs.
