"e;This bruising story is less a murder mystery than an unflinching look at a culture and community."e; - Kirkus Reviews"e;What does a boy do when things go bad at home? Who does he tell when things grow worse? Leeland didn't tell anyone--or did he? BLIND EYE tells the story of Leeland's life on a remote ranch in New Mexico. No one paid attention to what he couldn't say. Would you have listened?"e;- Candace Simar, Spur Award-winning author of The Abercrombie Trail Series---At the Bounty Canyon Ranch in Southeastern New Mexico, the bodies of Luke and Deona Pruitt are buried in a manure pit and their 14-year-old son Leeland Pruitt is missing.Deputy Sheriff Greenwood is called out to investigate the missing Pruitt family and discovers the grim scene. Leeland's brutal upbringing was an open secret overlooked by neighbors and teachers for years. The community turned a blind eye as Leeland was moved by his cruel father from one remote ranch to another. And so, Deputy Greenwood begins a twenty-four-hour hunt to find and save the boy suspected of murdering his parents. Blind Eye is both a tragedy and a dilemma of moral conscience. In this tale of cultural complicity, the community, at best, looked the other way and, at worst, enabled abuse, leaving us all to ask, 'What is too much to ask of a boy?'

Can humankind be saved from itself before it's too late? ALT offers a glimpse into a perilous near-future version of our world-one we feared would come for us but desperately tried to ignore. Civilization has entered a nearly irrevocable downward spiral following a history of misguided priorities and the corrosive effects of unchecked greed, political polarization, our reckless dependence on fossil fuels, and a flagrant disregard for the importance of maintaining a harmonic balance with nature.Our last hopes lie in Sundance-a radical new technology aimed at harnessing solar energy through artificial photosynthesis-but time is running out. Sundance's original design was destroyed under suspicious circumstances along with its inventor, Augustus Smith. An intrepid band of scientists attempting to resurrect the project have called upon Augustus's son, Theo Smith, a brilliant computer scientist, to help-but dark forces threaten to stand in the way. At its core, ALT is a warning about what awaits us if we fail to rein in our worst impulses and examine the unintended consequences of technological development, and ignore the signs of a planet in crisis. It's also a plea for change-so we can hand down a better version of the world to future generations.
