The Murder Book

In the shadowy depths of turbulent history, one weary lawman faces his most daunting challenge yet.



When a cold-blooded murderer escapes from jail, Deputy U.S. Marshal Coble Bray hunts him down to the organized crime syndicate of Joplin, Missouri-a town as wild as Tombstone, where corruption runs deep.



As Coble navigates a treacherous web of criminals, city officials, and a compromised law enforcement system, he grows weary of the endless violence and chaos that define his life. With his federal warrant suddenly revoked, he can't help but contemplate retirement, yearning for a semblance of normalcy.



But when the fight comes to him-putting everything he loves on the line-Coble vows that evil has underestimated the fire it ignites for the last time. And he's about to burn it all to ash.

Will Coble Bray be extinguished by the chaos, or will he finally close the book on murder?
