Post-World War II Nashville is a city of veterans returning from war, a growing homeless population still reeling in the aftermath of the Depression, an emerging African-American community, and women fighting to keep the jobs they filled when the war raged in Europe.
It is also the perfect backdrop for a predator hiding in plain sight.
The Teasdale family lives in North Nashville, a community of laborers. William Teasdale operates a blacksmith shop that opens into an alley adjacent to their home on Nassau Street, and Clisty Teasdale works in a factory six days a week. Caught up in their own issues, they are unaware of the evil that has invaded their domain.
The four Teasdale children, ranging in age from eleven to seventeen, face a villain who has perpetrated evil in the community for almost two decades knowing his social status protects him. Leon Bush targeted the Teasdale children, and they banded together for protection. He is planning his next act of evil when his plan is discovered and thwarted by the Teasdale children and Ellen Teasdale's best friend, Mildred Bush, Leon's daughter.
Their fight to thwart his plan brings the community together as those impacted by Leon over two decades come together to aid the Teasdale children when Leon and Mildred mysteriously disappear. The homeless, the rich, the Black and White, the religious leaders, and the detective, who Leon has evaded for two decades, aid them without their knowledge, with one aim--to bring justice to those impacted by his evil.
