Iron Valley

The best lawman in West Texas just became its biggest mystery. Sheriff Ray Tubbs has worn the star in Iron Valley County for thirty-one years. At dawn, his prisoner transport is found abandoned on a remote county road—doors open, engine running, two dead men in the caliche, and the cage standing empty. The sheriff is gone. So is his prisoner: a bookkeeper carrying nine years of secrets belonging to an outlaw motorcycle club. Texas Rangers Wade Colter and Elena Vega are assigned to the case—and to each other. He's a veteran investigator who reads liars as easily as he reads the land. She’s a former tactical officer determined to prove a bullet didn’t end her career. Together they must confront the question no one in Iron Valley wants to consider: Was Tubbs taken—or did he run? The evidence is starting to talk—and the story it tells begins four years ago, with a girl who disappeared. Every answer points somewhere darker. Every lead implicates someone Tubbs trusted. And if no one took the sheriff, Colter and Vega are hunting a lawman who knows every road, every secret… and every move they’ll make. A tense, atmospheric West Texas thriller where the land keeps track, the law keeps secrets, and loyalty can get you killed. Perfect for fans of C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, and Yellowstone.
