Blood Along the Meridian

In the borderlands of New Austin County, where the desert wind erases all tracks, a police killing of an unarmed migrant worker ignites a firestorm. Sheriff Roy Harlan tasks young aide Connor Nash with managing the fallout, but Connor soon discovers a conspiracy linking the shooting to a land grab scheme orchestrated by a powerful political dynasty. As Connor digs deeper, he uncovers a chain of buried murders stretching back decades, each one paving the way for a new highway corridor. Torn between loyalty to the man who saved him and the ghosts demanding justice, Connor must navigate a labyrinth of corruption where law itself is just another border waiting to be crossed.
