Or, at least that’s what he thinks until he gets blackmailed five years later by an attorney who knows the truth.
Zak Griffin’s got his own troubles snapping at his heels. The former marine and Vietnam War hero gets a job at the prison but can’t stop his excessive drinking.

Shirleen’s got her own secrets, including her connection to the murder five years ago. Mystery thriller A Price to Pay shows what happens when the stakes are high and everyone has a secret.
