Stateline

The gritty, tense atmosphere of a border town adds so much to the suspense. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or crafted it entirely from imagination.

The story moved quickly without sacrificing tension. Was this fast pace a deliberate choice to mirror the urgency of the plot, or did it evolve naturally during writing?

The protagonist's complex choices made me question what justice really means. I wonder what inspired the portrayal of such a morally gray character.
