The Ground Truth series

The books.

Twenty books across six phases. Foundation, Escalation, Meridian War, Expansion, Deep Past, Endgame. Standalone cases. One continuous architecture underneath.

Book One · Launching first

Condemned Ground

Asheville urban renewal. Sixty years cold. Records vanished out of a county courthouse and a name nobody at Ground Truth had ever heard of: Pinnacle. The case opens the series and seeds the network.

Book Two · In production

Sea Islands land theft, partition sales, tax loopholes. The same paperwork Grant saw in Asheville, four hundred miles south. A name finally surfaces: Meridian. A lawyer named Nell Voss is on the wrong side of it.

Book Three · Coming

Poisoned Ground

An abandoned federal facility above a holler nobody drives through. Cold War-era medical files, classified, digitized, then 'lost' during a contractor migration. Marcus Yun gets Grant in. Marcus doesn't get out.

Coming next

Book 4 · Escalation arc
