Betrayal on the Backroads

When a violent robbery rocks Dupray County, suspicion falls fast and hard. The crime is clean, professional, and brutal enough to leave no doubt that whoever planned it knew exactly what they were doing.

Elven Hallie isn’t sheriff anymore, but when suspicion points to one of his closest friends, staying out of it isn’t an option. With Sheriff Zane Rhodes running the manhunt and no badge to shield him, Elven is forced to work the edges of a case the town has already decided it understands.

As the pressure builds, Elven uncovers a truth far more dangerous than guilt. One rooted in loyalty, debt, and the kind of choices that don’t come with clean exits.

On Dupray’s backroads, doing the right thing has a cost. And this time, not everyone will survive paying it.
