Book excerpt: No good deed will go unpunished. The year is l945 and John Winthrop has fled the National Leprosarium to work as a farmer in upstate New York, where he is living with his stepdaughter, Jenny. Into John and Jenny's life comes Annie Conroy, who is pregnant and fleeing an abusive husband. John takes her into his home. When Annie's husband, Al comes to find her, John threatens to kill him. The next day, Al's lifeless body is found on John's land. He has been apparently shot with John's gun. Now John must not only prove his innocence, when every bit of evidence makes him appear to be the killer. And in telling the truth, John is also forced to reveal the truth about an illness he is desperate to hide, and which could have him returned to the Leprosarium. And finally, can John, now in jail for murder, protect Jenny from a killer who is still out there, looking for blood?
