The Story So Far
James “Jimmy” Keene was once a promising young football player. However, life took a turn when he delved into the criminal world, selling drugs. His life spiraled further when he was caught in Operation Snowplow, a major undercover operation. Initially expecting a five-year prison sentence followed by four years on release, Jimmy was slapped with a ten-year term without parole due to additional charges of illegal firearms possession.
But fate had other plans. The federal government, recognizing Jimmy’s unique skills and charm, offered him a dangerous deal that could potentially reduce his sentence. The catch? Befriend a suspected serial killer, Larry Hall, and uncover the truth about the alleged murders of up to eighteen women.
