Ashes of the Deadline

In the dying autumn of 2025, two fugitives—a disgraced immigration clerk and a haunted former sheriff—flee across the high plains of the fictional state of Coronado. Behind them, a federal task force and a private militia close in. Ahead, only empty highways and the ghosts of deported families. As their fuel runs low and their secrets surface, they discover that the real crime was not what they did, but what the system did to them. A cold, dust-laden road novel about the poison of transitional justice.
