Red Barn

You reap what you sow...

In the gripping new Baker & Tate mystery, Ruth’s resolve is tested in a relentless pursuit of justice where the line between law and vengeance begins to blur. 

Texas Ranger Ruth Baker has faced countless dangers, but nothing could prepare her for the haunting case that erupts in Caldwell County when a school bus full of children vanishes without a trace. The stakes are personal—her own daughter, Ava, narrowly escaped being on that bus. Partnered with seasoned Ranger Jason Tate, Ruth is pulled into a mystery that leads her back to the infamous “Red Barn Killings,” a string of child murders from twenty years ago that was thought to be solved.

As Ruth and Tate connect the current abduction to the cold case, they uncover disturbing secrets involving one of Caldwell’s most respected citizens, Judge Henry Whitman. But as they close in on the truth, Whitman strikes back, targeting Ruth’s family and forcing her to confront her deepest fears as she races to save Ava and bring justice to the town.

A heart-pounding mystery perfect for fans of Elle Gray and Mary Stone.
