The Lighthorse Mysteries: 2026 Collection By D. Champfleur Where jurisdiction ends, responsibility begins.

The Lighthorse Mysteries: 2026 Collection brings together the complete arc of investigations spanning the 2025 series along with the newest cases that follow—forming a single, continuous body of work grounded in tribal law, land, and consequence.

At the center is Captain Jack “Hawk” Hawkins, a former Lighthorse officer who understands that the most important truths are rarely found in official reports. They emerge slowly—through land records, quiet conversations, and the decisions people make when they believe no one is watching.

This collection includes:

The Kickapoo Codicil–A dormant treaty provision is used to create a hidden financial channel, moving money across jurisdictions and into places it was never meant to go. What begins as a technical irregularity becomes something far larger—and far more dangerous.

The Soboba Settlement–In Southern California, land, water, and money converge in a high-stakes negotiation where development depends on certainty—and certainty is in short supply. Hawk is drawn into a world where control of resources determines everything.

The Resort Between the Rivers–A disappearance in East Texas opens a question of identity, inheritance, and land ownership. As legal claims expand, the boundary between fact and assertion becomes increasingly difficult to define.

The Hochatown Vanishing–In the forests of southeastern Oklahoma, a search begins for someone who may not want to be found. Patterns appear, then dissolve, leaving behind a deeper uncertainty.

The Quiet Title–A claim to land rests on a life that can no longer speak for itself. What remains is not proof, but implication—and the difficult reality of what cannot be resolved.

Spanning Oklahoma, Texas, and California, these stories move through overlapping systems of authority—tribal, state, and federal—answers are often incomplete and outcomes rarely clean.
