Summary:
In 1964, bald-headed, pot-bellied Ned Parker is a farmer and part-time constable in Center Springs, Texas. Summoned to a cornfield one hot morning to examine the remains of a tortured bird dog, Ned realizes there is a dark presence in their quiet community. Ned is usually confident handling domestic disputes, moonshiners, and drunks, but when it comes to animal atrocities--and murder--the investigation spins beyond his abilities. While Ned joins up with a black deputy sheriff, Ned's cranky friend, Judge O.C. Rains, contacts the FBI. Then, warnings that his family has been targeted by the killer lead Ned to the startling discovery that he knows the murderer very well. The old lawman becomes judge and jury to end what has become a murder spree in the Red River bottomlands. And the stunning climax signals the end of an era in Center Springs.
