Passing through Detroit, Tom meets brother and sister Ruth and Calvin Styles whose parents were murdered two years ago.

Ruth and Calvin have been trying to discover who was behind the killings and their investigation has stirred up a hornet’s nest such that they themselves now have targets on their backs.

Determined to protect them, Tom takes on the siblings’ powerful enemies – a corrupt unit within the police force who will do whatever it takes to stop the truth getting out. Even worse, the bad cops are in bed with street gangs they can unleash on anyone who poses a threat.

Tom soon finds himself caught in the middle of a raging gang war while being relentlessly pursued by dirty police who want to terminate him – with extreme prejudice.

Outnumbered and outgunned, Tom will have to dig deep and use every one of his deadly skills if he is to keep brother and sister alive and get justice for their family.

Tom Rollins Thrillers

The series

Full series details →

In a world where violence often whispers before it shouts, the Tom Rollins series prowls through backroads, seedy motels, and forgotten towns with a steady hand and a loaded gun. These thrillers aren’t about saving the world—they’re about surviving it, one bloodied mile at a time.

Read full series description

Tom Rollins doesn’t seek trouble, but he’s haunted by it. A former black ops soldier turned drifter, he moves through the underbelly of America like a ghost with a conscience—always drawn to the broken, the hunted, the ones the system left behind. Each story drops readers into a new pocket of decay and danger, where morality is blurred and justice isn’t always clean. There’s no bureaucracy to slow him down, no badge to protect him—just instinct, experience, and a deep, unshakable sense of right and wrong.

The atmosphere is thick with menace—trailer parks pulsing with tension, gas stations lit by flickering neon, rusted-out trucks hiding darker secrets. There’s a brutal elegance in the way these books unfold: spare prose, tight pacing, and characters who bleed in more ways than one. Rollins himself is no superhero. He makes mistakes. He gets hurt. But he keeps going. And that’s what makes him unforgettable.

Gritty, suspense-driven, and unafraid to get its hands dirty, this series delivers the kind of raw, emotionally-charged storytelling that crime thriller fans crave. It’s not just about what happens next—it’s about what it costs to get there.
