In the second story of the Autumn Series, Leslie Ann Scott has been elected mayor of the small town she adopted after the death of her husband, Will. Her son, James Zachary, is Eastern University's star halfback. Several of the current football players are sons of those who played with Will, Jim Hall, and Zack Morrison when they won a national championship in 1964. Zack is Eastern's football coach and Jim is a four star general; the current commanding officer of the United States Central Command (USCENTCOM).A new day has dawned in Mayor Scott's town. In the name of progress the local governing body has opened the door for the darkest of Satan's henchmen. Topless bars, nude dancing, prostitution and legalized gambling has brought new money to an old town. Deep inside the Cat's Tail, a degenerate world draws high stakes players with an unquenchable thirst for gambling and the dark vices that accompany it. But, it's all a cover for something more ominous.Facing a death threat because of her efforts to close the Cat's Tail, Leslie Ann turns to an old friend, former Sheriff Don Whitman. Sheriff Whitman has problems of his own. He lives with a woman he's not in love with. Marrying the woman he loves would've kept him from being elected Sheriff of Carter County. She was his great sacrifice and he's still in love with her. Investigating the death threat, Don uncovers one of the most deeply entrenched espionage operations the United States has ever faced. He also meets Mary April Yeager, a beautiful, young woman who works as an escort at the Cat's Tail. Mary knows a lot of secrets and she shares them with the sheriff, after moving in with him. Against overwhelming odds and with help from an unexpected source, the sheriff finds himself in the midst of a mission so sensitive and deadly that the President of the United States is unaware of its existence. Determined to save Leslie Ann's life, and the country he loves, this unsung hero lays his life on the line in the days following the Gulf War.
