Less than a week later Raymond was at the County Morgue asked to identify his friend's body who had been brutally murdered in the parking lot of a local motel. The murder of his friend brings changes to Raymond's routine life in ways he could never have imagined. Questioning by local police was expected, but the introduction of the FBI wasn't. Was the repeated questioning a sign that Raymond was being considered a suspect in Daniel's murder? Returning to a Georgia hometown to attend a funeral, facing grieving parents and other childhood friends whose paths had changes significantly over the years stirred emotions he hadn't planned. While attending his friend's funeral, Raymond is given a FedEx package sent to him by his now murdered friend. The contents of the package leads Raymond and others on a journey that Daniel Thompson had planned to help solve a crime with international implications.
