Summary

This week, in Festus, Missouri, a small town police chief gets a little too big for his own good, and seems to get mixed up in some things that aren't such a good idea. Like helping find someone to kill a former deputy's wife, at that deputy's request. But who end up dead? And why? This one has too many twists to count, including a seriously surprising conclusion! Crazy stuff!!

Along the way, we find out that glass making seems pretty boring, that there is seemingly no end to small town corruption, and that two shotgun blasts to the head are considered very much intentional!!
