About this listen

Seventy-eight year old Eula Moore is kidnapped on the first day of her vacation in the Texas Hill Country town of Magnolia Bluff. Knocked out by ether, she is transported to a cabin deep in the forest. Eula is determined to escape, even though she is miles from any town. But escape she does, and when she reports the kidnapping to the police, the detective notes she was not hurt, she did escape, and no ransom was paid. He says, “No harm; no foul."

Incensed by this, Eula decides to find the kidnappers and see justice prevail. She has only the first names of the kidnappers and doesn’t know where she was imprisoned. With the aid of her granddaughter, Crystal, they track down the bungling kidnappers and find they owed money to a man known as Four Fingers, a vicious, dangerous man, wanted for multiple murders. They needed ransom money, out of fear for their lives. Eula has a choice. She can walk away and leave all this behind. But even at age seventy-eight, Eula's DNA will not leave things unresolved.
