Castle Gap

"Readers will keep turning the pages until the explosive ending." - Kirkus Reviews
Horsehead Crossing, Texas, solves its problems quietly, with unspoken consequences. Tacy Vernon learned this the hard way, and when she goes missing, her boyfriend Chase Haven must learn it too. When Tacy clashes with the town's bombastic mayor and uncovers a corrupt airport deal, she becomes a reluctant whistleblower - and a target of the powerful Baxter Whitey family. After she vanishes, Chase embarks on a perilous quest to uncover the truth.
A sabotaged radio tower crackles with static. A body rots in a sewer pump station, too far gone to identify. Every dusty road pulls Chase deeper into a web of greed, where desperate men will stop at nothing to protect their power. Fists crack, shots ring out, and the air hums with unspoken lies. In a town hellbent on silence, Chase will risk everything to uncover what happened to Tacy.
"Filled with powerful action and moral and ethical conundrums, Castle Gap is perfect, highly recommended reading..." -D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review.
Crafted by Andy Ivey, a fifth-generation Texan and former KCLW 900 AM host, this fast-paced rural thriller echoes the wild lore of Texas airwaves. Perfect for fans of C.J. Box.
"...a modern-day western..." -Alex Norton, Likely Story, with "...sharp dialog and an ending that satisfies..."
