Dallas

The City of Contrasts

In Dallas, Lee Raintree paints a vivid portrait of a city both glittering and gritty, where gleaming skyscrapers cast long shadows over neon-lit streets. At the heart of this tale is Sarah Templeton, a tenacious young reporter drawn to Dallas by the promise of career-making headlines—and by the memory of a hometown she left behind. As she navigates the dazzling allure of Uptown and the whispered secrets lurking in Deep Ellum’s jazz bars, Sarah uncovers a network of power brokers, rival families, and restless dreamers. Raintree’s prose pulsing with urgency captures every honk of a taxi horn, every tumble of wind across the Trinity River, and every heartbeat of ambition driving the city forward.

Beneath the Neon Sky

Amid the roar of NASCAR fans at the Texas Motor Speedway and the hush of midnight prayer at an Eastside chapel, Sarah’s investigation into a corrupt land deal threatens to expose truths some would kill to keep buried. She teams up with Marcus Delgado, a brooding detective whose own past is entwined with Dallas’s underbelly—his father a decorated police sergeant, his brother lost to the wrong side of the tracks. Together, they chase down leads from opulent Boardroom suites to back-alley shootouts, discovering that justice in Dallas is often bought with favors, and loyalty can shift like Texas windstorms.

County Lines and Broken Chains

As the stakes rise and alliances fracture, Sarah and Marcus find themselves racing against time to prevent a deal that could reshape the city’s future. In a breathtaking climax on the rooftop of a glass tower, they must decide how far they’re willing to go—and who they’re willing to betray—to see Dallas change for the better. Dallas is an electrifying saga of ambition, redemption, and the ties that bind us to both place and purpose.
