In 1971, Parker was a freshman philosophy student forced to make a pledge of silence by a tyrannical and murderous professor. Twelve years later, his promise will cost him his life and leave three murdered coeds unavenged unless the first real love of his life, a charming, homespun police detective in Fort Worth can vindicate him or, and much more challenging, she can divine the philosphical arguement to release him from the pledge.
With a delicioulsly rich cast of characters, it's a tale of murder,of love,of discovery and of the binding force of honor. "A promise is a promise", for those whose intellect will not allow them to deny it.
