Joe Hightower was about to make history as Alabama's first Native American governor. Instead, he collapsed on stage and died before taking the oath. The cause? A heart attack, according to the official report. But Sophie and Eddie Morrison have their doubts.

As a rare snowstorm shuts down South Alabama, the signs don't add up. The autopsy was rushed. A strange scent clings to the room where Joe waited alone. And someone Sophie thought they'd left behind in Argentina may have resurfaced.

With help from FBI Agent Elizabeth Pennington, Sophie and Eddie dig deeper-and uncover a trail that leads straight into the heart of a powerful political regime. Someone wanted Joe gone. And now, the people asking questions are in the crosshairs.
