John Milton was just passing through.
But when a chance glimpse of an old friend drags him off course, he finds himself in Clearwater Springs—a forgotten town poisoned by corporate greed and held hostage by fear.
Caterina Moreno was supposed to disappear. Years ago, Milton risked everything to help her escape Mexico and a cartel death sentence. Now she’s resurfaced under a new name, fighting a different kind of war. She’s taking on the powerful fracking company that’s been making people sick and silencing anyone who dares speak out.
Milton offers protection from the shadows. But danger is circling. The deeper Caterina digs, the more violent the pushback becomes—and far beyond the reach of corporate lawyers, someone else is watching. Someone sent to finish what was started years ago.
To save a woman who refuses to run, Milton will have to face a threat that’s been stalking her for years—and make a stand in a town where justice has long since been buried.
