The Lockbox

Eighty thousand dollars in a steel box shouldn't have been Cliff Pickering's problem. A pipeline inspector in West Texas, he's spent fifteen years driving remote corridors between pumping stations—honest work, invisible life. But when he finds a burned-out sedan with two charred bodies and a lockbox full of cash, he makes the worst decision of his life. Now a soft-spoken man named Bram Coleman is asking questions in town, and everyone he talks to goes pale. Cliff is about to learn that some money comes with a debt no amount can settle.
