Publisher's Synopsis
On the eve of April Fool's Day, 1933, a pair of elderly brothers and their two nephews were murdered in cold blood and robbed at the plantation owned by the brothers. After the bodies were discovered the next morning by a Black farmhand, local and state investigators allowed much of the evidence to be compromised by failing to secure the crime scene. In With Full Intent, Deputy Kendricks applies modern techniques to his investigation while working to counter racial prejudice and the ineptness of his law enforcement superiors. The case is further compromised when the state's one witness, the former girlfriend of one of the prime suspects, is murdered. Even Kendricks himself is compromised when he becomes romantically involved with the sister of that same prime suspect. Throughout the investigation, Kendricks works to overcome all the obstacles imposed by others and within himself to bring the perpetrators to justice.
