County: A Small-Town Crime Fiction Novel

A Southern Noir Thriller by Andrew Alman — a retired cop
“A Southern-fried noir soaked in meth, murder, and moral compromise.”

A small-town cop.
A violent biker war.
And a deal with the devil that might save his soul — or cost him everything.

Deputy Sam thought he knew Carroll County, Arkansas.
Then the bodies started dropping…
And meth labs rose in Bandito territory — with the Sons of Silence behind them.

Now he’s caught between two outlaw biker gangs, a betrayal by the man he trusted most, and one dangerous offer:
Join the chaos. Or be crushed by it.

And just when the lines between good and evil couldn’t get blurrier…
She shows up.
His high school sweetheart — and the only girl he’d ever loved — now tangled up with the enemy, and maybe not who she seems.

While she pulls him toward the past, someone else is pulling him forward:
a fearless, grounded woman who’s everything he didn’t know he needed.

But in a county built on lies and compromise, even love comes at a cost.

How far will he go to survive — and who will he be when it’s all over?
