Description

In the rural town of Delano, Georgia, three different men step into the role of Chief of Police as the community grows—and as danger escalates beyond what local law enforcement can easily contain. When a ruthless killer known as Foxy begins murdering at will, the chiefs must navigate shifting loyalties, political pressure, and the hard realities of keeping order in a place where everyone’s connected. Blending small-town dynamics with sharp procedural tension, the story follows how leadership, persistence, and teamwork collide with escalating violence. With Stuart Woods’s clear, fast-moving style and his talent for weaving crime into the fabric of everyday life, this debut delivers a suspenseful mystery that feels both grounded and propulsive.
