James and Cora Bevan are married, yet living separate lives. They take a trip to Jamaica to work on their marriage, but as usual James drinks too much and spends little time with his wife. He ventures into town, and his involvement in a bar fight leads to blackmail, extortion, and the wrong man ending up on death row.
The Wounded and the Slain is less about crime than many of the other books in the Hard Case Crime series. Though there is plenty of crime and violence, it is more the story of a relationship gone sour and one man's effort to find his humanity again.
