Don't miss the start of this hard-boiled neo-Western thriller!

Plot
Cole Moyer and his newly pregnant wife live a humble life in Texas, until Cole receives the news that his father has died and left him a mansion full of comforts in Arizona.
Cole and his father had no contact since Cole was a child and an incident occurred, so this inheritance is a mystery.
Months after moving in, Cole checks a damaged pipe and discovers a black notebook with a series of names, plus a Nokia cell phone from the 1990s, all of this is a mystery to Cole, which he begins to analyze.
One night Cole's wife suffers an accident and Cole puts this mysterious notebook to use...with a very efficient result.
Interesting story that mixes suspense with normal elements of everyday life more
This was pretty solid. Nothing too crazy. A simple and effective story that set the stage for a story with a lot of possible routes to take.
Felt like a quick read, but it was a good start to a series. The mystery is brought and tension is used well and has me glad to have picked up the first issue.
