The County Line
Gareth Morrow
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
A deputy stops Cal Rourke on a back road with no flares—and no paperwork.
Marcus Holt is shaking when he admits the truth: his sixteen-year-old son, Tyler, vanished five days ago, swallowed by a fentanyl pipeline that runs through a county split by a river, a dead-zone bridge, and men who don’t fear badges. Holt can’t file a report—not when Sheriff Ballard, tow operator Lloyd Mercer, and donor Dale Griggs keep the machinery quiet and profitable.
Cal is ex-military and passing through. He should keep driving. Instead, he rents room twelve at the Pine Ridge Motor Lodge, maps the routes, and finds a shipping container with ventilation holes punched into steel.
When Cal pulls Tyler and another broken boy out of the dark, the county’s corruption reaches beyond drugs—into missing kids, buried names, and a girl’s notebook hidden under a church. With photos, a federal agent on the line, and Memphis professionals closing in, Cal has one choice left: disappear… or make the county answer.
How far will Cal go when the line between rescue and reckoning is the county line itself?
