Off The Leash – Paperback

True-crime podcaster Margo Reyes has a working theory about Iron Creek, and she says it on the air: nobody is this charming without a body buried somewhere. The Mercers hate her show. They also know she’s right – someone inside their wire has been selling them out for nineteen years.

So the family embeds the enemy. And Jake Mercer – the loud brother, the one the betting board has never once carried – volunteers as her liaison before his brother finishes the sentence.

Her rule: everything’s on the record. His rule: the house never plays. Both rules are about to die spectacularly – and when a doctored recording weaponizes the truest thing Jake ever said, the woman who came to expose the family will burn her own scoop to save it.

The series finale: the traitor unmasked, a trap inside a federal certification, the wedding the whole county has money on, and the single best ledger entry in the history of the county. Every question answered. Every couple delivered. Bring tissues AND popcorn.
