Some Boys Never Become Men

Workng out of Pensacola, Florida, Beth Jacoby, a child abuse and neglect investigator and her co-workers, fly about town in and out of the living rooms of folks accused of hurting children. Her path into the private domains of rich and poor alike crosses that of her once teen lover, Jack, a California cool cop, and his partner, a thunderous loose cannon who dearly loves the war on crime. Beth begins to realize that she and the homicide detectives are entertwined in the web of a particularly violent marauder who is hunting down salacious creeps who prey on children. But, Casey, who effectively wields his bat to make his point, is not to be taken lightly.

Both social workers and lawmen are tossed about like crash dummies as they careen down a twisted trail leading to a startling collision of good vs evil.
