Trace Bellmont writes crime fiction set in the Piney Woods of East Texas. The Sandy Acres novels come out of something you can see from any lake road in the state, if you slow down: the water, the houses on the water, and between them a road with people living on it who have spent their whole lives three quarters of a mile from a lake they are not allowed to touch. Nobody up the hill has ever had to learn a name. The books start in that gap. The Only Road In is the first Sandy Acres novel.
