Tunnel VisionA Coldwater Chronicles Thriller
COLDWATER IS HEATING UP.
In 1993, the quiet town of Coldwater, Missouri, is rocked by the gruesome murder of County Prosecutor Doyal Gamble, his body severed and melted in unnatural ways. Rookie lawyer John Chance, fresh from law school, returns to his hometown only to face a supernatural thriller that tests his limits. Plagued by tunnel vision from botched eye surgeries and his own stubborn focus, John teams with sharp-tongued Assistant Prosecutor Annaleigh Stanton to hunt a killer hiding in plain sight.
As cryptic handprint brands sear Coldwater and secrets unravel, John’s inexperience pulls him into a crime mystery woven with betrayal. With a sheriff he can’t trust and a mayor steering the investigation astray, John must navigate a treacherous path to protect those he loves—especially Annaleigh, whose bond with him sparks more than justice in this romantic suspense.
In a town where fires burn hotter than they should, will John’s shadowed vision blind him to the truth, or can he stop a killer before Coldwater goes up in flames?

D. R. Young
D. R. Young has been weaving stories since he was a kid sketching comic books in the suburbs, dreaming up heroes, their sidekicks (a talking violin!) and clever twists.
As a teen, he swapped pencils for pulpits, preaching tales of faith to captivated crowds. Later, he poured his creativity into music, then pivoted to a career as a software engineer.
All the while, stories bubbled in the back of his mind.
Now, he’s a husband, dad, and the emotional support human to a scrappy Shih Tzu with a knack for laziness.
His debut novel, Tunnel Vision, A Coldwater Chronicles Thriller, is a Southern Missouri mystery series where a law grad with degraded vision takes on small-town corruption. Partially inspired by his own history (and battles) with corrective eye surgery, coupled with childhood trips to hauntingly familiar places, it’s the first of many tales to come.
The engineer in him still tinkers, and his X suspension fight... and loss... sparked a wild AI fix-it pitch on his blog.
But the writer’s in charge now, crafting novels packed with murder, thrills, and heart. Those small-town shadows have more secrets to share, and D. R. Young's just getting started.
