He must solve both crimes before the tourists start leaving in droves. J.W. & his partner, Tyrone Walker, sift through an unusual cast of characters, ranging from black gangs dealing crack, to a hier apparent son of Southern aristocracy, to the newly crowned Maid of Cotton. To make matters worse, someone is intent on turning out mass market bad BBQ, the unpardonable sin in Memphis.
