Shadows in the Smokies

Some doors should never be opened.Five years ago, Metro Detective Jake Lawson lost his partner during a botched raid in East Nashville. He's lived with the guilt ever since, carrying scars no one can see and questions no one dares answer.Now, after a fresh start as a Tennessee State Trooper, a young woman's death pulls him back into the shadows of that night, forcing Jake to confront enemies he thought were long buried. What he finds isn't a case-it's a network. One that stretches across backroads and courthouses, hiding behind badges and business suits, silencing anyone who gets too close.To uncover the truth, he'll have to fight through betrayal, blood, and a fortress in the East Tennessee woods-a place where secrets are kept, and lives are broken.Because some doors don't just open.They pull you inside.
