Available HERE for Preorder Now! Releases August 29, 2026 at $5.99 Justice doesn’t live in courtrooms anymore. It lives in men like Roscoe Benteen. When the body of a young woman is discovered in the Tennessee River Gorge, everyone already knows who killed her. The problem is proving it. The man responsible owns half the county, controls the local power structure, and has spent a lifetime buying protection from judges, politicians, and law enforcement alike.

He wants justice, and he’s willing to risk everything to get it. Dead Reckoning launches a gripping new mystery thriller series packed with murder, corruption, small-town secrets, vigilante justice, and a relentless investigator who refuses to back down.
