The Soft Parade of Winter: A Literary Political Thriller, (Paperback)

<b>A city can turn into a screen. A screen can turn into a door.</b> <p>When unmarked vans start circling 19th Street in the dead of winter, Nate does what he's always done-watches. From his window. From his phone. From the feed that never sleeps. </p><p>But watching doesn't keep a neighborhood safe. It only makes the fear louder. </p><p>Pulled into a ragtag network of neighbors-organizers, medics, quiet helpers, and people who are tired of being hunted-Nate helps build a "watchers' list" meant to warn, protect, and document. Then a single clip goes viral, names leak, and the line between witnessing and harming snaps. </p><p>As storms roll in and protests spill into the streets, a clinic becomes a refuge, a government agent becomes a familiar shadow, and Nate has to choose what kind of person he will be when the door finally opens. </p><p><b>THE SOFT PARADE OF WINTER</b> is a tense, lyrical literary thriller about surveillance, community, and the ordinary courage it takes to stop turning suffering into content-and start showing up for each other. </p><p><b>Perfect for readers who like: </b><br>- contemporary political fiction with moral heat<br>- literary suspense set in a working neighborhood<br>- stories about mutual aid, activism, and the cost of watching</p>
