Matthew Jade feels drawn to the jail that holds such terrible memories for him. He remembers the night ten years ago that he spent in Coffin County Jail. He had only had a few drinks at a party. So how had he so easily lost control of the car on the ice-covered road? His mistake had cost the life of his beloved young wife.

From a one-night-per-week visitation program as a layman, Matt rises to become the jail’s full-time chaplain. The mysterious deaths of three inmates add to the complexity of his life. Beautiful women are drawn into the life of Matthew Jade but so is death. Who is the killer and who will be the next victim in the cages of Coffin County Jail?

Meet Juju the Crip, the vicious Mike Kane, Lucy the addict, and Crazy Eddy Kelly in this strange world where deepest passions are unleashed. Readers will join with Matt on catwalks and in cells, in Okie’s Bar and the Purple Lounge, in smoky motels and suburbia. They will read the poetry, hear the music, and feel the desperate loneliness that fill the heart of Matthew Jade.
