CALICHE
When ex-U.S. Marshal Cole Dryden returns to his family's drought-stricken West Texas ranch to sell it, he discovers that his neighbor Roy Caudill's recent death was not the accident the county ruled it. Roy's truck is four miles from where he died, and Roy's notebook shows that the county's water certifications are fraudulent. Cole teams up with water-rights attorney Sarah Whitmore and his family's longtime ranch hand Pico Luna, whose forty years of handwritten water measurements are the only evidence Varano Energy's lawyers cannot touch. The fight moves to a public water board hearing where the truth about the county's water is finally put on the record.

SMOKE OVER MERCY
Elias Cord, 62, has ranched alone for six years on the ground where the town of Mercy once stood. When journalist Wade Fuller arrives with letters of introduction and a notebook, Cord agrees to the interview, releasing the account of the Harrow Company and its planned attack on three settlements in measured sessions that never quite reach the reason for the fire. Wade discovers, halfway through, that his father died in Mercy and that his father's name appears in Cord's ledger under the heading COMPLICIT. The full disclosure, when it comes, includes everything: the forty armed men, the three settlements with three hundred lives, the four innocent residents Cord moved to safety, and the twelve who died in the fire, including Hollis Fuller, livery operator. Wade writes the account overnight. He hands it to Cord. Cord burns it, and explains why. Wade leaves with his notebook. The story belongs to him now, and so does the question he cannot answer.
