American Dream

By Mark Graziano

Roy Hacker loves America and Velde county. His county. The good sheriff pledged to serve and protect the citizens of that backwater south Georgia county and by god he will. He only created a safe haven for drug deals because he needed the money.Family health crises wiped out half his life savings. The bursting of the housing bubble took the rest so he agreed to do business with his Vietnam war buddy turned Atlanta heroin dealer, Johnny Vandella. Secrets long shared between the two boil to the surface continuing to haunt Roy.When a Velde county deputy is killed and four hundred thousand dollars along with forty kilos of heroin disappear, Johnny and his Mexican supplier demand Roy track down the dope and cash, warning him if he can't they will. But this is Roy's county. If there's any further killing to be done, he's the one who'll be doing it. He is the sheriff after all. More locals are murdered. The close knit community looks to their long serving sheriff for reassurance. But Roy can't give it to them. He can't even look them in their eyes. He's become no different than the criminals he's protected them from over his decade in law enforcement. As the State Police inch closer to the financially ruined sheriff, Roy needs to recover every piece of evidence and kill every person linking him to these crimes, and along the way regain the trust and admiration of his town folk. A tall order even for a man like Roy. But he must. It's all he has left.
