Murder Creek, the third and final book of the Firedamp series finds Deputy Sheriff Sam Garrett once again in search of his prodigal brother "Tick" (Billy Wade) while at the same time wrestling with his conscience over allowing Jack Grimes (Hunter's Moon) to escape responsibility for the shooting death of his own father, the outlaw moonshiner Dewey Grimes. Sam revisits his cousin me-Curt, who advises him to drop the case against Jack, and re-crosses the swinging bridge to Stoney Fork, where he receives an enigmatic warning from Mammy in the form of one of her "visions." In the meantime, Sam receives yet another unexpected call from Special Agent L.C. Schilder of the federal Bureau of Investigation in Cincinnati that sends him into the unfamiliar and dangerous territory of Harlan County, where the escalating conflict between the mining companies "association" and the miners union threatens to catch the deputy in the cross-hairs of hostilities.
