-year-old Vietnam vet and newspaper writer, Tom Williams returns to his hometown in rural Florida to visit his ailing grandmother and soon comes face to face with the horrors he'd fled the night he graduated from high school, the lynching of a childhood friend and the mysterious deaths of his parents. His search for justice brings him up against an assortment of organized crime figures and corrupt local officials who will stop him by any means necessary.

Not knowing whom he can trust, Williams makes the mistake of turning to two of his oldest friends. Before long, he learns things about them he wishes he'd never known.

In Unfinished Business, Ray Dan Parker weaves a story of violence and deception that is as timely today as in the turbulent sixties.
