Welcome to Washed Clean: A Mystery Series Straight from the Suds of Rice Street Car Wash!

Ever wonder what secrets lurk behind the gleaming chrome and swirling soap at your local car wash? Buckle up, because Washed Clean is a thrilling new Christian mystery series set right here at Rice Street Car Wash—where everyday grime hides deadly truths, and a simple rinse can lead to profound redemption.

Meet Alex Rivera, a jaded mechanic with a sketchy past and a heart full of regrets. He's just trying to get by, hauling shady loads and avoiding the ghosts of his old life. But when a gruesome discovery in one of our bays pulls him into a web of crime, smuggling, and betrayal, Alex's world unravels. Framed for murder, chased by dangerous shadows, and haunted by his own mistakes, he hits rock bottom. Little does he know, this is where his true journey begins...

Through heart-pounding mysteries—like bodies in the bays, hidden ledgers in the office, and sabotage under the pressure washers—Alex grapples with temptation, loss, and the ultimate question: Can a man like me ever be truly clean? Guided by Maria, the wise car wash owner with a steadfast faith, and Pastor Elias, a community ally, Alex discovers the power of Jesus Christ and God's grace. What starts as a fight for survival becomes a transformative path to salvation, forgiveness, and hope. Inspired by Scripture—from the truth-setting words of John 8:32 to the washing purity of Psalm 51—each book explores how through great hardship, we find our Savior.

Book 1: Blood in the Bay kicks off the series with a midnight nightmare that changes everything. Released in 12 serialized chapters (about 2 hours total reading time), perfect for your coffee breaks or post-wash reads. New chapters drop weekly—right here on ricestreetcarwash.com!
