Wash Away The Evidence. Upload The Proof.
A dark queer thriller from author Travis Warman. A procedural noir with sharp edges and a small-town silence that breaks only when someone finally listens.
They are the perfect neighbors. They are also judge, jury, and executioner.
Michael Denton and Ryan Hayes have spent years hunting the predators who walk free from courtrooms and disappear back into ordinary life. They are methodical, careful, and certain of their purpose. Every kill is logged in a heavily encrypted dark-web archive called The Ledger. A permanent record of everything they have done. Their system has held for years. Then they make a choice that cannot be taken back.
When fifteen-year-old Julia Harrison goes missing, Junction City floods the streets to search. Michael and Ryan are out there with everyone else, organizing the neighborhood watch, knocking on doors, showing up exactly as the town expects them to. Devoted husbands. Good neighbors. The kind of men everyone is glad to have around.
But Detective Kayla Schultz catches the case and refuses the version of events that everyone else is willing to accept. And she's not the only one paying attention. Inside a quiet house on Chestnut Street, two husbands are working a private project of their own—one that has nothing to do with Julia Harrison, and everything to do with the kind of men the system keeps releasing back into towns like this one.
In this novel, Warman examines the blurred line between justice and revenge, the cost of keeping secrets, and what it means when the men you thought you could trust turn out to be something else entirely.
Fast-paced, dark, and impossible to put down.
