Althea might've been the county's longest-standing rude cynic, biting critic and incorrigible busybody, and she definitely won't be mourned, but nobody expects she was capable of physical violence.
So when Jericho finds mummified remains in the firetrap hoarder's paradise that was Althea's mobile home, the news comes as a bit of a shockto him and everybody else.
While it would be convenient to let the deceased female curmudgeon take the blame for an old murder, Jericho is convinced it wouldn't be right.
Can a humble junk picker/tow truck driver/scrap hauler/handyman clear the name of a woman who most certainly won't be grateful for it without getting into any further scrapes of his own?
Because the killer is enjoying freedom too, and just might kill again to keep it intact.
