Copper Creek Chronicles

When fugitive accountant Jimmy Sullivan arrives in the dying mining town of Copper Creek, he's looking for a quiet place to disappear. Instead, he finds himself drawn into a web of corruption and murder after the town's beloved schoolteacher is killed investigating mysterious tremors beneath the desert.

With the help of Clara Whitman, the fierce owner of the Pioneer Inn, Jimmy must uncover the truth behind Beth Montgomery's murder before more people die. But as they dig deeper, they discover something far more dangerous than unstable mine shafts - a conspiracy reaching from their small Arizona town all the way to Washington.

Now, Jimmy must choose between running from his past or standing his ground to fight for a future worth staying for. In a town built on copper and secrets, some truths are worth dying to protect - and some are worth living to expose.

The first book in the Copper Creek Chronicles, an epic tale of justice, redemption, and the price of looking closer in the dying days of the American West.
