A Novel by LonAnthony Phillip Parker
Some towns bury their secrets. Clayburn builds monuments out of them.
When Deputy Caleb Reed returns to his hometown of Clayburn, Texas, he's looking for a fresh start, a steady badge, a safe place to raise his children, and a chance to rebuild the life he nearly lost. But Clayburn isn't the town he remembers. After a late-night raid turns deadly, Caleb discovers the sheriff's department he works for is built on lies, missing young men, and a quiet terror that has ruled the county for generations.
The official story doesn't match the crime scene.
Witnesses disappear.
Evidence vanishes.
And every trail leads back to the same name whispered in fear:
Clayburn.
As Caleb digs deeper, he uncovers a hidden operation known as City of Dimes, an off-the-books empire of stolen cash, buried cases, and young men who were never supposed to be found. Exposing the truth means going to war with Sheriff Roy Clayburn, Judge Harrow, and a ruthless patriarch the town believes died decades ago.
But when Caleb's own son is kidnapped, the investigation becomes personal.
To save his family, he must confront the darkest secret of all, one his father helped hide, one powerful enough to tear Clayburn apart, and one that could destroy the Reeds forever.
In Clayburn, justice has a price.
And some bloodlines are cursed to pay it.
