Black Gold, Red Hands (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181459779)

In the West Texas oilfields, accidents happen. Men die. The ground swallows the truth.

Caleb Henson has already survived one fire. Years after a rig explosion left men dead and questions unanswered, he lives quietly on the edge of the field, trying to keep his memories buried. But when another oilfield death pulls him back into the machinery, the past begins to surface-along with voices that refuse to stay silent.

As Caleb's grip on reality fractures, a county deputy watches from the margins. He asks the right questions. He files the wrong reports. And when the truth finally rises, he must decide whether justice is something that can still be served-or only hidden.

Black Gold, Red Hands is a dark psychological crime novel about guilt, manipulation, and the lies men tell themselves to survive. Set against the unforgiving landscape of the oil boom, it asks how much blood can be washed away-and what happens when the land remembers everything.
