Jim Blawcyzk gets handed three serious cases within twenty-four hours and thats a lot for even the most veteran Ranger to handle. First an apparent murder-suicide at the McDonald Observatory turns out to be a double homicide. By the time hes through with that crime scene its mid-morning. Hes on his way home to get some much-needed rest before completing his reports and continuing his investigations when another call comes in. A bank robbery gone wrong has resulted in the shooting of a deputy sheriff and a hostage situation in downtown Alpine.
