Scot Allen loses his wife to Fentanyl, an opioid. Hurt and angry, he puts the following Solemn Promise on social media.

Anyone who harms my family while irresponsibly seeking wealth, be aware. I pledge retribution. Whatever, be assured, you will pay.

It gets noticed. Someone murders a rich pharmaceutical dude. Scot’s Solemn Promise goes viral. He isn’t the only one to lose a loved one this way. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have. More rich dudes die. A lot more. Scot won’t take his Solemn Promise down. Powerful people get angry, then scared.

Scot doesn’t care. For a while.

If you like John Sandford’s unflinching writing about modern America you’ll love ‘Serpent Point,’ the first installment in the Solemn Promise Series.

The following pictures were taken at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in South Central Colorado. It was fun finding a place to dramatically end my story—and a dramatic place the Black Canyon is. In many ways it exceeds the Grand Canyon!
