Iron Gates
About
Some doors aren’t meant to be opened....
Silicon Valley comes to Texas, and death is on its trail.
Texas Ranger Ruth Baker thought gated communities were just about keeping people out—until residents of Titanium Estates start dying in impossible locked-room murders. Each victim is found sealed inside their smart home, killed by the very technology meant to protect them.
Partnered with Aaron Tate, Ruth discovers the deaths aren’t random. They’re executions orchestrated by tech mogul Marcus Vance, a man who views people as code to be deleted. But Vance’s algorithm has identified a new target: Ruth herself.
As the digital walls close in and every device becomes a weapon, Ruth must outsmart a killer who controls the very air she breathes. In a town where privacy is dead and secrets are uploaded, survival means going offline—permanently.
With her daughter Ava and stepsons Jake and Marcus trapped inside the community and backup systems failing, Ruth faces an impossible choice: save herself or sacrifice everything to stop a madman who’s always one encrypted step ahead.
IRON GATES is an unrelenting, high-stakes mystery thriller packed with explosive action, psychological warfare, and the trademark emotional punch Baker & Tate fans have come to love.
