Harris County, Texas, Homicide Detective Pete Scallion has obsessed two decades over a brutal murder he is convinced occurred on a supposed duck hunting trip in the marshy wetlands east of Galveston Bay. Unable to prove his superiors it was anything other than a tragic accident, Scallion tries to move on with his life and career, while observing the man he knows to be the killer, the scion of a wealthy, powerful Houston family, as he moves up the Texas political ladder. Now, twenty years later, having moved from rural Chambers County Sheriff's Department to Harris County, Scallion is alarmed whe the official is in position to be the state's next governor. There seems nothing he can do to halt the ambitious politician's ascent,since no one wants to dredge up a forgotten, twenty-year old non-case, and ruffle the feathers of one of Houston's most influential families. A narrow window of opportunity for the detective arises when a former athlete-turned gigolo, a love-starved banker, and the Houston underworld conspire to expose the corrupt politician - with deadly results. The harrowing climax spreads from Austin to Houston, ending on the muddy banks of downtown Buffalo Bayou.
