- Book 2 of 3: THE COURT HOUSE TRILOGY
A Psychological Thriller / Midwest Gothic Series
Washington Court House, Ohio: a quiet Midwestern town with a name that sounds safe, civic, orderly. It isn’t.
Behind the brick façades and polite hellos, something feral moves under the floorboards. The institutions meant to protect the town—its schools, its newsroom, its families—have been rotting from the inside out. And the people who stayed silent the longest are the ones about to scream the loudest.
THE COURT HOUSE TRILOGY is a three‑book psychological detonation told through the eyes of the Go-Along, the Stay-Behind, and the Come-Back—three roles every corrupt system depends on… until the system collapses.
This is not a story about heroes. It’s a story about survivors who finally stop cooperating.
BOOK I — THE GO-ALONGMarcus has spent his whole life doing what he’s told—until the day he sees something he can’t unsee. Now he’s driving down US Route 35 with a secret in the passenger seat and the entire town closing in behind him. Washington Court House taught him to obey. It never taught him how to run.
BOOK II — THE STAY-BEHINDDelia stayed. She always stays. She knows the break room whispers, the locked doors, the mug with the wrong date on it. She knows what the institution did—and what it’s still doing. When the truth finally claws its way to the surface, Delia becomes the one thing the town never expected: a witness who refuses to shut up.
BOOK III — THE COME-BACKToby left the newsroom years ago. He swore he’d never return. But when a folder lands on his desk—one that should not exist—he drives south toward the town that broke him. Washington Court House has been waiting. And it has one last story to tell.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
