In the swamps of 1931 Florida, the law does not protect the innocent. It protects the powerful.
Cyrus Gables survived the Great War only to return home to a state determined to erase him. When a corrupt governor's private enforcers move to seize his land and silence witnesses, Cyrus and his wife Kay are forced into open rebellion. What begins in the shadows of the Ocklawaha explodes into a violent chase across New Orleans, the bayou, and the corridors of federal power.
Armed with a ledger that documents bribery, land theft, and murder at the highest levels of government, Cyrus becomes a hunted man. State agents, mob enforcers, and political fixers close in as the couple fights to protect their family and expose the machinery of corruption built on blood and fire.
Cypress and Steel is a brutal historical thriller steeped in noir atmosphere, political intrigue, and unflinching action. Set against the heat, violence, and moral rot of the Deep South, this novel explores how far ordinary people will go when the law itself becomes the weapon.
This book is intended for mature readers.
