Dust Storm

In the shadowed heart of the Appalachian Mountains, Bellevue was a town built on coal, secrets, and grudges that never die. Joe Galloway thought the worst was behind him. After surviving the storm that nearly destroyed his business, hes determined to rebuild. But someone isnt ready to let him rise from the ashes. When an OSHA inspector turned up dead, the town was gripped with fearwhispers spread that the Dark Hands crime family had arrived, bringing a new wave of violence with them. For fifteen years, Joe carved out his place in Bellevue, battling those who saw him as an outsider. But with enemies closing in from all sides, old rivalries reignite, and buried sins claw their way to the surface. The battle for Galloway mining was no longer about businessits about survival. Because in Bellevue, the past never stays buried. And this time, Joe Galloway may not make it out alive.

The storm had been building, and now, the reckoning had come. Joe Galloway had fought to hold onto his business, his family, and his life in Bellevue. But the battle isn't just about land or money anymore-it was about power, blood, and who was left standing when the dust settles. The Consecki family ruled the coal industry with an iron fist, and Pete Consecki would do whatever it took to keep it that way. Rules don't matter. Neither does the law. Winning was the only thing that counts. Sheriff Smith had seen enough blood spilled in Bellevue, and he was desperate to stop the war before it consumed the town. He warned Joe to stand down, to let justice take its course. But Joe knew better. Justice was a luxury for men who still believed in it. Violence was the only language his enemies understood-and it was the only thing he had left. When two more bodies hit the ground, the choice was made for him. The final showdown was coming, and the cost of survival may be more than anyone was willing to pay. In Bellevue, there were no second chances. No redemption. No mercy. This time, only one man would walk away.
