Callie’s husband is in a coma after his truck plunged into an icy lake. Police have ruled it an accident, but Callie always wondered.

Now, a woman named Althea claims to know things about the night Abel’s truck went off the road. She says she’s psychic.

Callie discovers some of what Althea says is true: A house near the site of Abel’s accident matches her description of it. But the man who owns the home — Dr. Nathan Marsh — says he’s never met Callie’s husband.

When the police inform Callie that Abel is actually a suspect in the separate disappearances of two young women, she doubles her efforts to find the truth. Is Althea really psychic, or is she involved? Why is Nathan Marsh lying about knowing Abel? Why does Abel’s brother Garr suddenly show up, seeking to help?

And the young women who disappeared — can Callie help find them? Even a third victim, before it’s too late?

She went looking for a vacation. She found a body.

FBI Agent Shannon Ames is headed to the North Country for some much-needed R&R when a sudden ice storm traps her in the small hamlet of Long Lake, NY. But the storm isn’t her only problem – as she rolls into town she finds a body by the side of the road.

As Shannon begins to investigate, she realizes she’s not the only person trapped here – there are two vicious killers stalking the town. With no way in or out, it’s up to Shannon to stop them before they hurt someone else.

“Every book is a thrill ride in this terrific series. The characters are richly developed and the main character, Shannon is very engaging. What starts out as a simple road stop quickly escalates into a complex plot involving multiple murders, suspects and a brutal blizzard. Highly recommend all four books.” — Amazon reviewer

A brutal abduction. Two scared kids. One desperate fugitive.

Struggling with the guilt she feels for shooting and killing a drug dealer during her freshman case, Special Agent Shannon Ames is thrown back in the deep end when former federal prosecutor Lucy Donato goes missing.

The case takes a surprising turn when Lucy’s bookish husband Bob is caught on camera fleeing the state with his two small children. Has he done something to his wife? Is he a danger to the kids?

There’s definitely something off about Bob, because it soon becomes clear he isn’t stopping for anyone. He’s smart, he’s ruthless, and he steamrolls over anyone who gets in his way.

Desperate to protect the kids, Shannon pursues Bob cross-country, following a trail of stolen cars, brutal bar fights, and dangerous drug dealers. But something isn’t sitting right with her – why would a meek office worker suddenly blaze a trail of chaos across several states? What does he want? Where is he going?

The answer to those questions is truly shocking and puts Shannon at the heart of a case she’ll never forget…

ROUGH COUNTRY

“Captivating and compulsive … Brearton is undoubtedly one of the best and most accomplished American crime writers working today.” —The Book Doctor

Small town. Big Secrets.

A young girl, Kasey, is murdered in the woods of northern New York, a strange symbol carved into her stomach.

Investigator Reed Raleigh, Major Crimes, is tasked with finding the killer.

Reed has his own troubles. He’s in therapy, divorced, estranged from his son. But he desperately needs to solve this case — his own stepdaughter vanished when she was a teenager and Reed knows all about the agony of having no closure. No way is he letting Kasey’s mother go through that.

But as Reed begins to dig, the case grows ever more complex. Why is Kasey’s boyfriend acting so strangely? And why is her mother lying to the police?

As evidence of Kasey’s bizarre secret life starts to emerge, Reed realizes this case isn’t just about a dead girl. There’s something much bigger at play in this small rural town, a decades-old secret that needs to be protected. At any cost.

“If the prologue of ‘Rough Country’ doesn't get your pulse racing, I don't know what will…What follows is so full of twists and turns, I ended up suspecting everybody.” — Dawn’s Book Reviews

EBOOK, PAPERBACK and AUDIO

“I read this book so quickly. I just kept reading one more paragraph, one more chapter, one more page. The prologue grabs your attention right away, and leads into the rest of the story perfectly. As with his other books, T.J. doesn't over dramatize his characters, especially the main character. They have just enough human nature and personality that I find the characters completely believable. Their personal issues don't overtake the story. His writing is so good that he doesn't need the filler that these extras impose. I highly recommend this book.” — Michelle Merritt

THE KILLING TIME (Ames #1)

#1 New Release in Noir Crime Amazon US

“As a retired police officer & investigator I would highly recommend this book.” — Amazon reader

They have been judged. The verdict – guilty. The sentence – death.

Two beautiful young women are found strangled, their bodies meticulously washed and groomed. The only thing they have in common – both worked as reporters for local TV stations.

A coincidence? Or something more sinister?

Rookie Special Agent Shannon Ames is assigned to the case and soon impresses with her brilliant intuition and startling ability to think outside the box.

But as Shannon takes a more prominent role in the investigation, she finds herself drawn into a deadly dance with a master of deception, straight into the heart of darkness…

The Killing Time is a gripping mystery thriller that will keep you up all night as it races towards its shocking conclusion. Perfect for fans of David Baldacci, Robert Dugoni and Lisa Regan.

“This is an extremely well written thriller with a very human cast of characters. FBI agent Shannon Ames is the best female lead character I've encountered lately and I read A LOT. So often strong females are portrayed as masculine or 'softened' by needless romance plot lines. Can't wait to read more from this author!” — Amazon reader

BLACK SOUL (Titan Series #4)

The stunning conclusion of the Titan Series

A seventeen year-old girl has gone missing in Central America.

Her father fears she has been abducted by human traffickers. Investigators William Chase and Hanna Beckett are his last hope to find her.

They’ve spent the past two years working with anti-trafficking groups. Hanna tries to play by the book, but William has become frustrated, ready to take on crime without restraint. While working in Russia, William’s brazen attempt to rescue a victim gets him and Hanna into trouble, and they flee to Honduras.

The new case of the missing girl will either bring them back together or tear them apart.

Roatán, Honduras is a tourist paradise, though muggings, murders, and sex trafficking are an unfortunate reality. And by taking advantage of a corrupt police force, traffickers rule the streets and build their own security forces.

Maybe it’s the perfect place for William to dole out his hard justice.

Or maybe things aren’t at all what they seem...

Now Bobbi lives in constant fear that the murderer will be back for her…

(Amazon top 500 reviewer) 'I had never heard of T.J. Brearton before, and when I saw this book offered I saw it described as "gripping," "exciting," and "intriguing."

Those descriptions are accurate.

Brearton takes great care in creating his setting and then expertly maneuvers the characters around this world. In my opinion, this is a sterling example of craft writing, the kind of writing where visualizing the world is nearly effortless. For me the story just flowed and I was able to immerse myself in it...something that hadn't happened for a long time.

A very good book from an author at the top of his game. This does not disappoint.'

“(Dead Gone) is terrific. Going through the ins and outs of the case was engrossing. I'm crying because of Tom's situation at the end. It takes a good book to pull you in so deeply. I am a new fan of T.J. Brearton.”

“(Truth or Dead) was interesting from the very beginning. I could barely put it down to eat. It never had a slow spot. It is the second of T. J. Bearton's books I've read, and I will definitely read more of them. Anyone who likes thrillers will love these books.”
