In Moriarty, some roads lead nowhere. Others lead to murder.

Moriarty, New Mexico, is as far as Logan Pierce got before his money and the El Camino ran out. He had hoped for a fresh start as a field mechanic, working for any company willing to pay top dollar for his skills in the oil fields of West Texas. Low on funds and out of options, he changes course and takes a local job as a technician at Duggan's Truck Stop.

The truck stop is a miniature city within a city, offering all the comforts of home for over-the-road truck drivers. Beneath the surface, Logan discovers a darker side, rumored to be operated by the Dixie Mafia. There are also persistent whispers that affiliates of the Mafia are searching for a quarter-million dollars in missing cash, skimmed over five years. What was meant to be a temporary job becomes complicated when Amy Hauser enters the picture, bringing her own set of challenges. They both long to leave New Mexico for a new life, yet the allure of that missing mob cash lingers.

And Logan may have discovered where it's hidden, but soon finds others want it more.
