Villainy and Virtue

Bag om Villainy and Virtue

Scarred by the injustice of war and an agonizing failure, disabled veteran Wes Quinton returns home. When a crooked banker, his two thugs, and a corrupt senator mercilessly target his quiet hometown, the number of swindled victims multiplies. Among them are Wes's parents and his beloved godmother. Wes is on their list, too. Aboard an antiquated train on the way to a convention, Wes cringes when the disreputable foursome board at the state capitol. Harassment of the amiable train staff escalates into threats and a boiling animosity, inflamed by stops along the way. An explosive confrontation, of which Wes wants no part, looms. He loathes injustice and fears for the staff, passengers, and especially for young Timmy, who travels alone with his dog. Wes has promised to keep the boy safe. Strange sightings and odd events mount and gnaw at Wes's psyche. More is happening than meets the eye. Can a wary Wes thwart these politically powerful villains and fulfill his promise? Will he find redemption, or will this struggle end in another tragic failure? Will justice ever prevail? And when will everything make sense?
