Edge of the City

For years, south Dallas has been ruled by a corrupt caste of politicians who  espouse populist rhetoric. Growing fat and rich while their constituents   wallow in crime and poverty. Jebediah Shaw never wanted to make the city  his home. It had never been more than a place to rest between wars. And now,  working in that dark area between government and private business, he's  given an impossible task. To keep a man alive that everyone, including  himself, has a reason to want dead while choosing sides in a Civil War no  one even knows is happening. At the beginning of the end of the American  empire, at the edge of what was and what will be, he knows in the end all a  man has, all he has any control over, is his word and his work. He will do  whatever it takes to complete his mission. Dallas, may never be the same.
