As Texas Ranger Faith McClellan investigates a young woman’s murder, she must solve a puzzle of lies and overcome powerful enemies.

As the rebellious daughter of a Texas political dynasty that groomed her to be a trophy wife, freshly-minted Texas Ranger Faith McClellan is determined to carve her own path. She’s grinding away each day, hoping to land one of the coveted assignments on the cold case unit.

But when a young female track star is murdered in one of Texas’ most affluent communities, Faith uncovers a series of shocking connections.

Secrets that could destroy the carefully curated reputations of those in power.

And they will do anything to stop her…

A MISSING WOMAN.

A SADISTIC SERIAL KILLER.

AND A TEXAS RANGER RUNNING OUT OF TIME...

Shortly after a young mother mysteriously disappears, a serial killer begins leaving corpses and clues across the Texas Hill Country. Texas Ranger Faith McClellan and her mentor, veteran Ranger Archie Baxter, are assigned to the case.

This killer is more clever—and sadistic—than any they’ve ever encountered, and the list of seemingly unrelated female victims is growing by the day—an attorney, a pastor, a stay-at-home mom. The murders feature similar injuries, with a cryptic message carved into each corpse. But these gruesome calling cards provide more questions than answers, and with the best coroner in the state unable to identify the murder weapon, investigators are flying blind.

With the young mother still missing and a mounting body count, it’s up to Faith and Archie to solve the mystery. Before the killer strikes again…

When a serial killer leaves a string of victims with political ties, it sends Texas Ranger Faith McClellan into a desperate race to save lives—even the ones she’s not sure deserve saving.

While on special assignment to the bank fraud unit, Texas Ranger Faith McClellan accidentally stumbles upon a raging fire consuming the back of a nearby house. When partially-cremated remains are pulled from the ruins, she finds herself back on homicide—and on the trail of a ruthless killer.

As she races to identify the victims, the sadistic murderer strikes again—this time against state politicians with ties to Faith’s father, a former governor of Texas. Faith is forced to face shocking and long-buried family secrets as she questions her confidence in the justice system—and those she thinks she knows best.

Soon, Faith and her colleagues realize they’re hunting a killer with a personal vendetta, whose ferocious methods of murder are punishment for unimaginable sins of the past.

Everyone is a suspect. The pressure is on. Now Faith must piece together clues from the ashes...before her whole life goes up in flames.

A series of brutal pig slaughters brings Faith McClellan to a small town where a ruthless serial killer prepares to butcher their first human victim…

When Texas Ranger Faith McClellan is called to investigate a series of gruesome small-town murders, she doesn’t expect to find a slaughtered pig—but she agrees to take the case, suspecting the latest murder was targeted at Kelsey Marie, the teenage handler of the victim.

Kelsey Marie is smart, pretty, and successful, supporting her family’s lavish lifestyle with her highly lucrative YouTube channel. She’s also the target of massive online hate, with dozens of threatening messages sent to her channel each day.

Although the clues point to an online stalker, Faith suspects a killer much closer to home, and the list of possibilities is endless: from jealous rivals at a local FFA chapter to Kelsey Marie’s suspiciously missing mom and half brother.

When the killer carves up their first human victim, Faith knows she’s running out of time—but with little evidence, too many suspects, and a serial killer who outsmarts her at every turn, the odds are stacked up against her.

And when the killer uploads the filmed murders to Kelsey Marie’s YouTube channel, Faith will risk everything to save the teenager’s reputation…and her life.

A trail of dead bodies throws Texas Ranger Faith McClellan into a race to catch a serial killer obsessed with stealing organs…

The Rangers are running an active shooter simulation in an empty mall when they find a young woman’s body, wrapped in plastic in a mechanical closet. When the medical examiner discovers that this woman is missing several organs, it is Faith’s first clue that this is not your average murder.

Soon, Faith discovers a trail of bodies matching the killer’s M.O., all stored in remote indoor locations, all with organs removed, each one closer to the last. With the missing organs affecting the decomposition timeline, it’s almost impossible to pinpoint the time of each murder, and the investigation takes on a life of its own.

Faith will risk everything to put a stop to the murders—but the killer is smarter than she thinks, and they won’t hesitate to cut down anyone who interferes with their lethal plan…

Half a dozen bodies. A missing agent. A sinister crime ring that’s determined to bring her down...

When Texas Ranger Faith McClellan is called to the Southern border to help recover suspicious human remains, she has no idea she’s about to wade into the deadliest case of her career. Six of these mysterious bodies have appeared in the area over the past year...and Faith wants answers.

Then a local officer disappears while on the job, and Faith is quickly plunged into a dangerous investigation with roots that run deeper than she ever could have imagined. With a key witness dead in border patrol custody, she finds herself without backup and unsure whether she can trust local law enforcement.

As she begins to dig deeper, she uncovers a shocking truth that will pit her against the most dangerous criminals she’s ever faced...
