Description
In the Alabama backwoods, the only thing more dangerous than the legends are the men who keep them.
Something is hunting in the Alabama woods. On a rain-soaked October night outside Albertville, two teenagers witness a nightmare: a massive, dark figure emerging from the tree line, clutching what can only be a human arm. They run. They stay silent. But by dawn, the discovery of a dismembered body breaks the silence—and the forensic reality is far more terrifying than any ghost story.
Logic vs. Legend
Detective Leo Thorne is a man of cold facts. With 20 years in Major Crimes, he doesn’t believe in monsters; he believes in blood patterns, ballistics, and the greed that drives men to kill. But the crime scene at the abandoned Sand Mountain farm defies every protocol. What Thorne uncovers isn't just a murder—it’s the gateway to a sprawling criminal empire stretching from the Gulf Coast to the heart of Atlanta.
A Conflict of Blood and Law
As Thorne peels back forty years of corruption, the trail leads to the one place he never wanted to look: his own family. His brother Eddie—the "good son" and pillar of the community—is drowning in secrets that are worth killing to keep.
With the FBI closing in and a grand jury looming, Leo Thorne is forced into the ultimate noir dilemma:
-
Do you uphold the badge you swore to protect?
-
Or do you save the brother who shares your blood?
