They didn't need a conspiracy. They only needed everyone to go along.
In Washington Court House, Ohio, the rules are simple and never written down: keep the peace, protect the story, and never force the town to look at what it already knows. Most people learn the lesson early. The ones who don't pay for it.
When a man refuses to stay silent, the community does what it has always done. It does not argue with him. It does not debate him. It simply decides-quietly, collectively, and with devastating efficiency-that his version of reality no longer counts. His history becomes evidence. His character becomes the problem. The truth becomes whatever the room agrees it is.
This is not a story about monsters. It is a story about ordinary people who will do almost anything to avoid standing alone.
The Go-Along is the first book of The Court House Trilogy-a dark, precise, and deeply unsettling examination of what happens when a community values harmony more than honesty, and when the cost of belonging is the truth itself.
Some towns keep secrets. This one enforces them.
