A letter from the past. A dead man in the dirt. And Sherman heading straight into hell. When a cryptic message surfaces about his father’s past, Frank Sherman heads to a remote coastal town. What he finds is a place rotting from the inside—run by a smuggler family, protected by silence, and haunted by an old betrayal that’s ready to explode. The locals want Sherman gone. That only makes him dig in deeper. When a body is discovered, the cover-up moves fast. But Sherman’s been in too many wars to miss the signs. This town has history—and he’s about to rewrite it. A Long Violent History is the final ruthless mission in the Frank Sherman Thrillers Series—where small-town secrets don’t stay buried, and justice never shows up unarmed.

They framed his sergeant. Sherman’s not buying it. When Sergeant Raylan Gournsey is arrested for murder in Equatorial Guinea, it looks open and shut: Naked. Drugged. A body beside him. The local police waste no time calling it solved. But Captain Frank Sherman doesn’t believe in coincidences. The deeper Sherman digs, the clearer the setup becomes—and the more dangerous the players. Mercenaries, foreign agents, and power-hungry politicians are all feeding the chaos simmering just beneath the surface. And Gournsey? He’s just bait. But Sherman doesn’t care. He’s getting his man out—no matter what it takes.

They abandoned a soldier. Now Sherman’s bringing the consequences. Captain Frank Sherman has spent the last year trying to outrun the war he left behind. But when a call comes in about a friend who never made it home, he doesn’t hesitate to do what no one else will. The trail leads from Kabul’s collapse to a dark pipeline of human trafficking, where profit hides behind politics and no one’s hands are clean. Sherman’s only lead? A cold trail through the Rocky Mountains—and the kind of enemies who never leave loose ends. He’s not on a mission. He’s making it personal. They took the wrong man. Now Sherman’s coming to collect.

A dead friend. A dirty town. And one man who won’t back down. Captain Frank Sherman rolls into a dusty Northern California town to visit his oldest friend—only to find him dead and the sheriff's story full of holes. The deeper he digs, the more bodies pile up. Crooked cops. A corrupt sheriff. A town so rotten it’s begging to be burned down. And Sherman? He’s just the man to light the match.
