1959. Delpha Wade killed a man who was raping her. Wanted to kill the other one too, but he got away. Now, after fourteen years in prison, she's out and looking for a job in Beaumont, Texas. It's 1973 and the small southern oil town has no use for Delpha until her parole officer twists Tom Phelan's arm and makes him hire her as an office manager. A Vietnam Vet, Tom worked as a roughneck until the unforgiving machinery severed an index finger. Unwilling to offer another body part to the cause he has hung out a shingle as a private eye. He doesn't know it yet but choosing Delpha over the incompetent giggling bunnies that have applied for the office job is the best thing he could have done for his fledgling business. Together these two pry into the dark corners of Beaumont, a blue-collar, Cajun-influenced town dominated by Big Oil.

Mystery fiction.
