Dryline, The Seiler Murder Mysteries

An engineer gets caught in the gears of a deadly conspiracy in this thriller of new technology and ruthless oilmen set in Luling, Texas.

Once known as the “Toughest Town in Texas,” Luling is about to see a whole new kind of trouble when oil money and murder collide. Former NASA engineer Tom Seiler has been helping his brother, Don, with a new oil extraction system potentially worth billions. But when a worker is found dead on the outskirts of Luling, the brothers find themselves up against a group of ruthless oilmen bent on stealing their design.

Surrounded by danger, Tom and Don have no option but to ?ght for the system—and their lives. Set among the rolling hills of South Texas, The Dryline explores the vagaries of nature, the one-of-a-kind Luling Watermelon Thump, and the struggle between justice and revenge.
