Tule Fog

Amid the relentless grip of the valley's toxic fog, chilling murders, and treacherous plots unfold, creating an atmosphere of unease and suspense. The San Joaquin Valley, once a picture of thriving farms feeding the world, has morphed into a cesspool of crime, greed, and decay. The soil singes the skin, toxic fog sears the lungs. The fog is a murder's accomplice, its shroud thickening with each death. My name is Anthony, and I was a successful attorney.
