Ashfall County
ByPublisher Description
When a wildfire tears through Ashfall County, it exposes more than scorched earth - it uncovers a skeleton buried in a dried creek bed, and with it, a twenty-year-old secret that powerful people paid to keep buried.
Lucas Grady left this county quietly eight years ago. He had his reasons. Now Sheriff Naomi Cruz has brought him back as an unofficial consultant, and the first thing he learns is that the arresting officer on the only file connecting the dead man to anyone is his own father.
What follows is a methodical unravelling of a local conspiracy that reaches from a ranch foreman's orders in the dark to a property deed processed by a cooperative county clerk, from a developer's financial pressure to a former sheriff who ran his department like a private arrangement. Lucas builds cases slowly, by hand, one fact at a time - and in Ashfall County, the facts keep finding each other.
Ashfall County is a tightly plotted Western noir about institutional corruption, inherited loyalty, and what it means to do good work inside a broken system.
