Synopsis

Geologist Hans Lind is sent to covertly support Westvale’s largest coal-mine. Instead, Bryn Scott frames him and leaves him buried underground. He claws his way back from death, returning to his hometown only to be accused of stealing the compensation fund. Shunned and hunted, Hans faces false charges and mounting threats. He refuses to fold. Piece by piece he proves the setup, holding to his principles amid danger and deception. Tension tightens as allies turn away and the real plotters scramble to cover their tracks. In a final confrontation Hans exposes the conspiracy and forces those responsible to face the consequences, vindicating himself but at a high personal cost.

Strong worldbuilding around the mine and community politics. Every clue mattered, payoff was satisfying.
