The seclusion of the Inn at Gloucester suits former Boston police detective, Bill Robinson. As the novice owner and innkeeper, he doesn't ask any questions of the dozen residents. Neither does Sheriff Clayton Spears, who lives on the second floor. Then Mitchell Cline arrives. His crew of local killers bring drug deals and violence to the peaceful inn. Robinson, with the help of journalist Susan Solie, comes to realize there is no escape from the reality of evil-- or the responsibility for action. -- adapted from jacket
