Death on aTexas Highway

Harry Miles just wanted to take his cherry-red Mustang out for a spin. Instead, he drove straight into a gunfight. I'm excited to announce the release of the third case file in my Bulverde Beat mystery series: 📘 Death on a Texas Highway Set against the dusty, sunbaked roads of rural Texas, this 8,700-word short thriller puts PI Harry Miles into the heart of a deadly encounter - and forces him to rely on courage, training, and instinct to survive. This isn't the first time Harry's stepped into danger. But this time, it's personal. 🚗 What's the Story About? It begins simply enough. Harry Miles - Air Force veteran, former fighter pilot, and now a private eye, is cruising through the Texas Hill Country in his restored 1963 Mustang. He's not looking for trouble. But trouble finds him. As he crests a ridge on a lonely highway, he spots something wrong. A Comal County Sheriff's Deputy is pinned down by a man wielding an automatic rifle. There's no backup. And time is running out. In that split second, Harry makes the choice most wouldn't. He intervenes. What follows is a pulse-pounding confrontation that tests Harry's judgment and commitment to do the right thing - even if it means putting himself in the crosshairs. 🔎 Why You Should Read It Death on a Texas Highway is about more than a shootout. It's about the quiet kind of heroism - the kind that doesn't come with medals or parades. It's about a man who's been through hell and chooses to keep doing what's right anyway.
