Tunnel Vision

A Coldwater Chronicles Thriller

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.

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. Book 1 of the mainline Coldwater Chronicles.
