Becker weaves together the tales of two widowed families, torn apart by political turmoil, crime, and the harrowing mystery of why ex-convict Freddie Burrseye was murdered days after his release from prison on state penitentiary time in Illinois. At the center of the mystery lie the brother's revenge schemes and his loyalties to powerful men, who seem to be in cahoots.

The intricacy and complexity of Becker's narrative is intense, enthralling, and a tantalizing blend of suspense and drama, interwoven with very recognizable and imperfect people caught up in the midst of an increasingly difficult moment. "The Turncoat’S Widow " is an immersive, moving, action-packed story that will keep you alert throughout its various intrigue-fueled plot twists. It's a heartfelt story of the human condition writ large, leaving readers to navigate all the way along with its protagonist to unravel the dark turns taking place near the heartland, where they often feel least comfortable.
