Trouble Doesn't Pass You By

Asher Dawson thought his biggest worries were grades, late-night study sessions, and whether he'd ever find the courage to tell Theodora how he feels. But when his small, snow-draped hometown is shaken by a brutal murder and a string of fires, Asher and his friends are pulled into a storm that feels anything but ordinary.

The culprit isn't a stranger. It's Chip-once their childhood friend, now a dangerous figure whose vendetta grows darker with every crime. With the FBI circling, neighbors whispering, and winter settling heavy over the town, Asher is forced to confront more than just the shadows of the past. He must decide what kind of man he's going to be when the people he loves are in danger.

Blending the intimacy of a coming-of-age story with the pulse of a thriller, "Trouble Doesn't Pass You By" explores friendship, first love, and the fractures of betrayal-set against a backdrop of cozy Christmas streets and the chilling threat of someone who knows them too well.
