Delayed Reckoning (A Tom Padgett Novel) (Volume 1)

Tom Padgett is finished with law enforcement. He lost his job, lost his wife and most other possessions. Tom left the city and moved to a remote trailer in Nicholas County, Kentucky. Now, he and his dog Bella, a Golden/Labrador mix will live the simple life. Sheriff Wilson doesn't like the newest resident to his county. He has his sights on Tom Padgett. His instincts tell him not to trust the man. Wilson is extremely confident and always trusts his gut feelings. He knows Padgett isn't an angel. He's going to prove it. Since Padgett arrived in Nicholas County, crime has skyrocketed. More and more things continue to happen in the rural area where Padgett lives. Tom doesn't appear to be connected to any of the crimes, but strangely, many of the crime scenes are familiar to him. Tom keeps this to himself. He doesn't need to give the Sheriff any additional ammunition. Wilson can't shake the thought that Padgett is some sort of vigilante. He openly suggests that Padgett is involved in many of the recent crimes. Tom can see the writing on the wall. Retirement isn't going to be easy, especially with Bill Wilson's interference. Will Wilson's pressure on Padgett finally pay off or will Padgett's inner conflicts expose him? Could this be grounds for delayed reckoning?
