Dead Before Dawn — John Corwin

DEAD ON ARRIVALEx-special forces operator, Amos Carver is being framed for murder.Carver hasn't killed anyone. At least not for a few years, and certainly not in some backwoods Georgia town. He would never harm the person they're accusing him of murdering. But nobody believes him. And no one is willing to help prove otherwise.The town might look almost dead. It might look like it's barely clinging to life. But it's very much alive. Rotten to the core. And the unknown forces running it want him dead.They can come. They can try. But there's not a chance in hell Carver is going down without a fight.
