THE RISE OF DEAD EYE - A ZEE BLACKWELL STORY

AVAILABLE JULY, 2025.

They called him Dead Eye back in France—an old war dog with a rifle and a ghost’s patience. Now he’s just another quiet old man playing checkers in a Mississippi park. No one notices him. No one suspects him. But bodies keep falling across the Delta—lawmen, Klansmen, white-robed judges with blood on their boots.

Private investigator Zee Blackwell doesn’t believe in coincidence. He’s seen what injustice does to a man’s soul—and what it takes to make things right. As the bullets keep flying and the town turns to fear and whispers, Zee finds himself locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse… with a man he’s come to admire. Maybe even trust.

But when justice puts on a preacher’s robe or a badge and starts swinging a noose, what’s left for a man to do—except become vengeance itself?

In the Delta, truth bleeds slow. And sometimes, the one you’re looking for is sitting right across from you.
