Last Castle in the Sky releases August 5!

---

 A tense, atmospheric Southern noir about blood ties, buried truths, and the cost of silence.

Vern Bruce once had a future in politics—until the Dixie Mafia framed him for murder. Now on death row, he’s left behind a shattered family and a legacy tangled in lies. His teenage nephew Cliff is the only one who believes he’s innocent. But Vern’s own son, Casey, haunted by his mother’s unsolved death, is falling under the influence of the man who may have destroyed them all.

Set against the humid backdrop of the Gulf Coast and laced with the grit of Southern noir, Last Castle in the Sky is a literary thriller about loyalty, betrayal, and how far a family will go to unearth the truth—even when it threatens to tear them apart.
