From publisher blurb: It is a delightful mid-sized American town in northern California, filled with houses with deep, shaded front porches, lush trees and bright Spanish-tile roofs. Then there are the leather-clad motorcycle thugs with a chip on their shoulders and something to prove. You are not violent by nature. You have your problems with authority, but you’re not a sociopath. You’ve come to realize that when you move your life off the social grid and live on the fringe, you give up the safety that society provides. On the fringe, blood and bullets are the rule of law and if you’re a person with convictions, violence is inevitable.
