Unfinished Business
In the spring of 1968, twenty-six-year-old Vietnam vet and newspaper writer, Tom Williams returns to his hometown in rural Florida to visit his ailing grandmother and soon comes face to face with the horrors he’d fled the night he graduated from high school, the lynching of a childhood friend and the mysterious deaths of his parents. His search for justice brings him up against an assortment of organized crime figures and corrupt local officials who will stop him by any means necessary. Not knowing whom he can trust, Williams makes the mistake of turning to two of his oldest friends. Before long, he learns things about them he wishes he’d never known. In Unfinished Business, Ray Dan Parker weaves a story of violence and deception that is as timely today as in the turbulent sixties.

Spiraling accusations lead to a campaign of character assassination and, ultimately, murder. This collision of power and wealth on the one hand and blind, vindictive ambition on the other leaves in its wake the ruined lives of dozens of people, including family and friends stretching from the suburbs of Atlanta to a small, dusty town in the Mississippi Delta. Drawn into this Greek tragedy by such powerful personalities, Tom fights to uncover the truth ... all the while hearing echoes of his own past.

Before Jimmie can be brought to trial, however, he is lynched by an enraged mob. The time has come for Tom to find out who really murdered his old lover—and to clear Jimmie's name once and for all.
