TUNNEL VISION

A Coldwater Chronicles Thriller
Coldwater is heating up.

In 1993, the quiet town of Coldwater, Missouri, is rocked by the gruesome murder of County Prosecutor Doyal Gamble, his body severed and melted in unnatural ways. Rookie lawyer John Chance, fresh from law school, returns to his hometown only to face a supernatural thriller that tests his limits. Plagued by tunnel vision from botched eye surgeries and his own stubborn focus, John teams with sharp-tongued Assistant Prosecutor Annaleigh Stanton to hunt a killer hiding in plain sight.

 

As cryptic handprint brands sear Coldwater and secrets unravel, John’s inexperience pulls him into a crime mystery woven with betrayal. With a sheriff he can’t trust and a mayor steering the investigation astray, John must navigate a treacherous path to protect those he loves—especially Annaleigh, whose bond with him sparks more than justice in this romantic suspense.

 

In a town where fires burn hotter than they should, will John’s shadowed vision blind him to the truth, or can he stop a killer before Coldwater goes up in flames?

TOWN OF TRIALS

A Coldwater Chronicles Thriller
Some verdicts are delivered outside the courtroom.

Four months after Coldwater, Missouri, nearly burned, young prosecutors John Chance and Annaleigh Stanton are still sweeping up the ashes.

 

Peace? An illusion, especially in a town built on secrets.

​

John’s risky choice—prosecutor and now detective—is slowly unraveling him. The manhunt for fugitive Kenneth Roy Atlee is dying in the dark. The fragile new relationship he shares with Annaleigh teeters on the edge after her “I love you” went unanswered. And now, John battles strange symptoms from Wesley Raith’s blood, ones that no doctor can truly explain, threatening to upend everything he’s worked for.

​

The revelation that John’s biological father never left for St. Louis shifts the search back to Coldwater, where new players arrive with hidden agendas, complicating life at the courthouse and on patrol.

As autumn arrives, the net tightens around Atlee. When he’s finally dragged into court, Coldwater will learn that justice is only one of the many verdicts still pending.

 

In a town where every choice is a test, some trials threaten to break more than the law.
