Leo Waterman's late father used to be one of the region's most powerful and colourful political characters. But just how seriously Waterman senior transgressed during his time on earth comes into question when a human skeleton is uncovered in Dad's back yard.
The remains belong to 'Wild Bill' Waterman's staunchest foe an ultra-conservative muckraking journalist who vanished mysteriously thirty years before. Leo is convinced that his old man was too savvy to have committed murder. But in order to prove it, the dutiful son is going to have to dig up a very dangerous past.
