STATE OF ANGER

Virgil Jones Book 1 

“THIS SERIES GRABS YOU WITH BOOK ONE AND DOESN’T LET GO!”–WALL STREET JOURNAL

Nothing at all. A team of serial snipers are on the loose…their civilian victims chosen at random. Or are they?

With no witnesses and very little evidence, the Major Crimes Unit is ordered to find and stop the killers by any means necessary. Except when Virgil’s long-lost adopted brother, a convicted felon named Murton Wheeler comes back to town, in trouble and on the run, Virgil knows it’s more than just coincidence. He can’t prove it…in fact, he’s not even sure he wants to.

As the bodies continue to mount, Virgil finds himself running out of options, knowing he has to choose where his true loyalties lie…with the people he’s sworn to protect, or to the brother that left him behind when he needed him the most.

But in the end Virgil discovers he never really had a choice, because the final bullet reveals a truth that will change his life forever.

STATE OF CONTROL

Virgil Jones Book 3 

Virgil Jones thinks his life is back on track and he’s in control of his future, but he’s not. In fact, he doesn’t even know the meaning of the word control…

In Shelby County, Indiana, a group of mega-farmers are about to make the deal of their lives. During a dry season that threatens to ruin their harvest, they begin to dig for irrigation water but hit a pocket of natural gas instead. A hasty deal is put on the table and the members of the Shelby County Co-op board are set to go from a Midwestern farming powerhouse to a multi-million dollar fracking operation. Except one of the farmers doesn’t like the idea. He doesn’t like it at all… 

Pam Donatti is still grieving the loss of her husband, Ed, after he was killed in a vicious gun battle, a battle that almost cost Virgil his own life. When the state refuses to pay Pam Donatti her husband’s death benefits, the Indiana State Troopers go on strike in support of a fallen officer’s family. But Pam has a secret, one that has the potential to change her, and her son’s life forever… 

On a quiet Sunday afternoon Virgil’s former boss calls and tells him the governor wants a private meeting. Why? He has no idea. And frankly, he doesn’t care. He was fired from the state’s Major Crimes Unit by the governor himself eight months ago. Besides, his life is going just fine. His wife, Sandy, is pregnant with their first child, he owns two businesses—a Jamaican themed bar called Jonesy’s, and a private investigation firm he runs with his partner and brother, Murton Wheeler. 

But Virgil is about to discover that time isn’t as linear as it appears and events from his past are about to repeat themselves. And when they do, he’ll come face to face with pure evil and forced to make the kind of choice no man should ever have to make.

As the bodies continue to mount, Virgil finds himself running out of options, knowing he has to choose where his true loyalties lie…with the people he’s sworn to protect, or to the brother that left him behind when he needed him the most.

But in the end Virgil discovers he never really had a choice, because the final bullet reveals a truth that will change his life forever.
