Murder Ranch

Death has a membership fee...

In the latest high-stakes Baker & Tate thriller, a rich rancher’s obsession with a serial killer leads Ruth into a deadly game of cat and mouse.

When a prominent Texas rancher is found murdered in his sprawling estate, Texas Rangers Ruth Baker and Aaron Tate uncover his connection to a secretive group calling themselves the Murder Club. These wealthy ranch owners share a dangerous obsession—solving the case of the notorious “Bandanna Strangler” who terrorized single mothers across rural Texas, leaving a trail of strangled victims discovered in their bedrooms.

But someone else has been watching the Murder Club’s every move. A young waitress at the local diner has meticulously documented the forgotten victims, building a case that points to a shocking pattern of small-town corruption and buried secrets. When she brings her evidence to Ruth, the investigation takes a dramatic turn—and another Murder Club member turns up dead at his ranch house.

As Ruth and Aaron race to protect their witness and unravel the club’s dark purpose, they realize the original killer may have been closer to home than anyone suspected. With the body count rising and time running out, they must expose a decades-old conspiracy before the killer strikes again.

But in a town where everyone has something to hide, the truth comes with a deadly price.

MURDER RANCH is a pulse-pounding mystery perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Elle Gray, and Mary Stone.
