A dead body on a rich man's land. An ex-cop with nothing to lose. A small town with impossibly big secrets.

"A worthy read and crafted with such an immersive intimacy of the South you can almost feel the humidity, smell the dirt roads and taste the desperation." -- Paul C, Amazon Review

When former cop Rolson McKane stumbles onto a grisly, backwoods crime scene, he wrongly assumes the local police force will jump at the chance to solve the uncharacteristic small-town murder.

However, after Rolson insinuates that the town's most respected figure in the crime, he finds himself in the crosshairs of forces much more powerful than himself.

A powerful local politician and the cops in his back pocket want Rolson to give up his independent investigation, and they'll stop at nothing to shut him up.

If they can't incarcerate him, well, they'll just kill him instead.

With the threat of jail or a death sentence hanging over him, Rolson uncovers evidence that links the case to his own tragic past, and as the facts send him hurtling toward a violent final showdown, he's not just trying to solve a crime -- he's trying to save himself.

A hard-boiled southern noir novel with hints of the supernatural, like James Lee Burke meets David Joy.

"I can't praise this book enough. It is rich, dripping in Southern culture, has excellent character development that weaves them into your soul." -- C. Craig Coleman, Amazon Review

"Reminded me of James Lee Burke and John Connolly. Rolson is a very flawed man trying desperately to do the right thing in spite of himself. I can't wait to read the next book." -- Lynn C, Amazon Review

"This is not a book to pick up for a light read. It is pretty dark and deals with some of the worst of human instincts. That being said, it is REALLY good. The author has this genre nailed." -- Debi Alexander, Amazon Review

"Good characterizations. Nailed the Southern 'mystique.' Didn't figure out the killer til right at the end. I'll read more T. Blake Braddy." -- Amazon Review
