An Alexandre Sarraf Investigation
In draft. No release date yet
Liberty County, Texas. A wireline crew running a perforation job. The gun detonates at surface. Three men die in the same ten seconds.
There is no inquiry to second-guess this time. Everyone already knows what killed them. Alexandre Sarraf is sent anyway, because the company paying the claim wants a second opinion on a verdict nobody asked for.
The county went wet on alcohol sales eighteen months ago, and the vote is still an open wound at every gas station and church supper in town. Sarraf arrives into a place that had already chosen sides before he asked a single question.
Three dead men and a story everyone already believes. Sarraf has never trusted a file this finished.
No release date yet. The manuscript is in draft, and the cover isn't built. If you want to know the moment either changes, the mailing list hears first.
