Buck was strong, quiet, and hauled whatever Grainger Hauling gave him to pull. Then the owner sold out, skipped town - and Terry Lux came home.
Fifteen years ago, Terry vanished from Grainger the week before graduation - and left Buck with a question he was never brave enough to ask out loud.
Now she's back. Back from New York with a red Mercedes, a fortune that should scare her more than it does, and the hollow, thousand-mile stare of a woman who drove most of the way across a continent without ever quite being inside her own body.
Grainger Hauling has a new owner now - one nobody in town has met. Buck just keeps the trucks rolling and the questions to himself.
Grainger does what Grainger always does: it talks, it stares, it jokes, it gossips, it pours another beer and pretends not to notice too much.
Then the black Escalade rolls into town.
Strangers start circling. Old wounds split open. And Buck begins to understand the truth Terry drove two thousand miles to outrun - she didn't come home because her life went wrong. She came home because she watched something happen.
And something much worse followed her.
Set among fading neon, muddy highways, café counters, and enormous Alberta skies, Some Guy from New York City is a prairie noir of second chances, dangerous money, small-town loyalty, and the kind of love stubborn enough to wait fifteen years for the nerve to speak.
Book One of the Prairie Noir series.
