BETWEEN JOBS
A Border-Noir Thriller of Lies, Water Wars, and a Man Who Doesn't Stay Bought
When justice breaks, some men keep going anyway.
Ruell used to wear a badge. Now he works out of the cab of a beat-up F-250, taking whatever legal adjacent jobs keep gas in the tank and the lights on. Process serving. Skip tracing. The kinds of gigs where nobody asks questions because nobody wants answers.
But in Coyote Wells, a dying desert town under blistering heat and tighter surveillance than a prison yard, Ruell walks straight into trouble disguised as a simple courier job-an envelope of water-rights documents that everyone wants, and nobody wants delivered.
Two couriers have already been taken out.
The last one vanished.
And the outfit contesting the filing has money, muscle, and zero hesitation.
Ruell agrees to the run for five hundred bucks and the promise of discretion. That's before the surveillance trucks start showing up. Before the threats get real. Before the desert night starts crackling with the kind of violence he thought he'd left behind with the DEA.
Now he's caught in a borderland shark tank where small-town politics, cartel cash, and corporate water barons collide-and carrying that envelope makes him the one man who can ruin everyone's plans.
He just has to survive long enough to deliver it.
Dive into a desert-noir world where the wrong envelope in the wrong hands can get you killed.
