Sacred Ground: A Nathan Calloway Thriller

They poisoned sacred land betting no one would fight back. They bet wrong.

The water is killing them, and no one will do a thing about it.

Six months after the Meridian case, former Pararescueman Nate Calloway is trying to keep his head down: a quiet security job, weekends with his daughter, a fragile peace with the memories he carries home from Afghanistan. Then a fellow veteran asks him to look into the sickness spreading through Sandia Pueblo. Elders in respiratory distress. Children with rashes that won't heal. Livestock dying along a stream that used to be sacred.

The cause isn't a mystery for long. A desperate construction company is dumping toxic waste where the runoff drains straight into tribal land, and they've engineered the whole operation to slip between tribal, state, and federal jurisdictions where no one has the authority, the budget, or the will to stop them. Every legal door Nate opens leads to another that's locked.

But paperwork moves slowly, and an old man is dying on a ventilator while the barrels keep coming.

Nate has the training to end this himself. The only question is what it will cost him, and the family he's trying to protect, if he does.

Sacred Ground is the second book in the Nathan Calloway vigilante series: a lean, grounded thriller about the people who fall through the cracks, and the man who refuses to let them.
