Broken Ground

A dead man. A buried lie. And a sheriff who won't look away.

When a trusted arborist is killed beneath a falling tree during a violent Colorado windstorm, Sheriff Ray Duke is told it was a tragic accident. Wrong place. Wrong time. Bad luck.

Duke doesn't buy it.

George Bailey was cautious. Methodical. And lately, he'd been asking questions no one wanted answered—about dying trees, disputed land, and what might be buried beneath the soil of Blue Sky County.

As Duke follows the trail downhill, he uncovers a web of quiet pressure and carefully managed silence: wealthy newcomers protecting their investment, contractors pushed to stay inside the lines, and county approvals designed to keep the past from resurfacing. What began as a suspicious death becomes something far more dangerous—a long-buried environmental crime tied to land everyone assumed was safe.

With the town desperate for closure and powerful forces working to reassign the truth, Duke must decide how far he's willing to go when justice threatens to cost him his career, his reputation, and the fragile peace of the community he's sworn to protect.

Because some ground isn't just broken.

It's hiding something.

And the land is done keeping quiet.

Perfect for fans of clean, redemptive mysteries, this novel delivers edge-of-your-seat suspense without the grit—just courage, conviction, and hope in the face of darkness. Be sure to begin this series with Book 1, Cold As The Grave to maximize your listening experience.
