The Lassiter family’s story continues with Eagles in the Mix, a thriller set in a small West Virginia town. William Lassiter’s decision to make a life change by purchasing the Eagles Nest Sentinel has sparked buyer’s remorse because he’d be moving away from his family and leaving a job he’s enjoyed since graduating college with an investigative journalism degree ten years prior. Despite his turmoil, he ultimately decides to make the move, but an automobile accident puts that on hold, and while he’s recuperating, his father, Chester, and brother, JR, step in, going to Eagles Nest to assess the situation for William and protect his interests.

Immediately, suspicions are raised about the finances of the newspaper, and the shady, racist connections of the management. The KKK wants control of the paper to spread their propaganda, so when Chester and JR begin cleaning house and bring in outsider Jim Botte to manage the Sentinel, threats against Botte’s life soon make it clear he will be needing a bodyguard—enter Martin Esposito. No expense is spared to protect Botte, securing him in a remote cabin accessed by one mountain road and setting up a manned guard station. Meanwhile, though doctors have advised William that while he will walk again, he will be confined to a wheelchair for some time. Rather than waste time in the wheelchair doing nothing, he decides to use his investigative skill to solve a murder believed to have been the work of a brutal mafia hitman.
