Synopsis

Uncovering his hometown's dirty past might just get him killed...

Wade Rivers returns to his rural hometown to bury his mother. The timing is grimly convenient―his private investigation business has just collapsed, and it feels fitting that life would spit him out right where it all began.

To some locals, Wade is nothing more than a washed up PI whose failures confirmed what they always believed. To others, he’s the man behind one heroic act no one can quite forget. One of those few, a reclusive heir from the town’s wealthiest family, hires Wade during his brief return home to investigate a circle of powerful men hiding terrible crimes.

Wade agrees, having always suspected the local police are anything but clean. And it doesn’t help that his father, a bitter, broken man, left scars on the town that still linger. But the closer Wade gets to the truth, the corruption becomes darker than he ever dared to imagine…and it might just be staining Wade, too.

The Night Road is the first book in the Wade Rivers series, a gritty, relentless rural noir perfect for fans of Jack Reacher and Quinn Colson.
