Dark Thirty Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Dark Thirty


Though Jesse Wade had been busy building a home for his son and wife on his mountain land, he had made time to purchase a special birthday present for his grandson. His joyous mood was shattered when he returned home to murderous carnage. All six members of his family had been brutally killed, including his grandson. One murderer was killed in a shoot-out, while another pled insane. The last one got away with this heinous crime. The only way to tame the rage in Jesse's soul was to execute his own justice. With the help of loyal friends, the one who got away was hunted, then trapped. The myth about mountain justice was no longer a mystery to this killer.
