Murder On The Brazos

A floating corpse. A small-town cover-up. A race to expose the truth.

When Fen Maguire handed over his badge nine months ago, Newman County was clean and safe—a legacy he thought would endure. The drug dealer's corpse drifting down the Brazos tells a different story.

With the victim's house torched and evidence pointing to the new sheriff's father, Fen can't walk away. A hidden drug cache and a coded notebook reveal cryptic clues to a conspiracy that runs deeper than anyone suspected—straight into the department Fen once ran.

The new sheriff is stonewalling. Suspects have alibis that don't add up. Fen's traded his badge for a paintbrush, but not his instincts—and the answers come between brushstrokes and dead ends as he pieces together a killer hiding in plain sight.

In a Texas town where old loyalties clash with new corruption, Fen will risk everything to protect the community he swore to serve—before Newman County becomes unrecognizable.
