Teardrops of Lake Tawakoni

The Eras Remix: In My Gen Z Era

Yeah, I rewrote the whole book for Gen Z—because the original was serving beige trauma with a side of small-town denial. Now it slaps.

Quinlan, Texas was supposed to be chill. But when a fisherman hauls a bloated body out of Lake Tawakoni—chest carved with a single teardrop—Detectives Loretta and David Smitty realize the town’s charm is a cover-up.

As the Smittys dig deeper, they uncover a lakeside community unraveling under the weight of meth addiction, vigilante rumors, and secrets buried in bake sales and barbecue pits. The killer isn’t just targeting dealers—they’re sending a message. And it’s getting personal.

Loyalty fractures. Grief turns lethal. And the Smittys must decide how far they’ll go when the people they trust become suspects.
