Blood Over Vee Creek

By Dnkss Summer

A land soaked in legacy. A creek that remembers everything. A detective caught between the past and a rising storm of truth.

When seasoned investigator Reyna Doss returns to her rural hometown in Texas after a decade away, she's expecting family tension, stubborn ranch politics, and maybe a few buried memories. What she doesn't expect is a body found at the edge of Vee Creek — an unsolved murder that spirals into a deepening mystery tied to her family's land, an abandoned vault hidden beneath the hills, and a powerful AI experiment gone dark... until now.

As Reyna digs deeper, she uncovers decades of corruption, a brutal fight over land rights, and a network of secrets that stretch far beyond county lines. A forgotten war is brewing between those who want to protect the land and those who would weaponize its buried past. Somewhere beneath the red soil and fractured oak roots, the truth stirs — and it's whispering through the creek like blood in the water.

With help from the fiercely loyal rancher Marcus Vale, the brilliant coder Camila Trask, and a town still haunted by its own silence, Reyna must race to solve a mystery that threatens to consume everything she once loved.

But the land has memory.

And some memories refuse to stay buried.

Blood Over Vee Creek is a genre-blending detective thriller, rural noir, and techno-mystery, rich with Southern atmosphere, unforgettable characters, and a haunting sense of place. Perfect for fans of True Detective, Tana French, and C.J. Box.
