Max Strong #7

A secret is a promise. It can also be a prison.

Max Strong has found a place big enough to let him disappear: Texas. He’s free of the bloodshed and the ghosts that chase him. But when two locals draw him into their dilemmas, he can’t resist the action.

Alex Blackburn is the richest rancher in town and he wants Max to find his missing wife. She vanished five years ago leaving behind only a pool of blood. Everyone in town, including the police, believes that Blackburn killed her. So why is he trying so hard to find her now?

As Max starts asking questions, two things become very clear. Someone is lying and someone is hiding a terrible secret.

Not everyone wants to be found.
