Book excerpt: This is the riveting true tale of a small town boy who grew up lusting for power and respect. After Richard Holmes got mixed up in the drug world, everything in his life spun out of control. In September 1987, a drug raid at Richard's home led to the disappearance of a police informant. People throughout Idaho and across the nation were stunned and outraged as the facts in the case began to come out. Conspiracy, kidnapping, and murder were some of the charges Richard Holmes was facing when he was tormented and stabbed to death in an Idaho State Correctional facility. All the while, guards stood outside watching and listening as commanding officials told them to stand down.
