Room for Wrath

Part of the Snowe Agency series:

Editions:ebook, Hardcover, Paperback

Forgiveness has its limits. Revenge doesn't.

On a sweltering hot summer day, Troy Seligman witnesses a murder out on the still waters of Carlisle Lake. A woman strikes Dr. Gregory Neal in the back of the head with a boat hook, knocking him over the side of his yacht. Troy sees it all, and there’s no doubt in his mind that the murderer is Dr. Neal's socialite wife, Linda. It sounds like an open and shut case for the private detectives of Snowe Agency.

Not everything is as it seems, however.

It becomes quickly obvious that the dentist was not the pillar of society he was thought to be. With a long string of infidelities to his name, just about everyone in his life has motive for murder—including his wife, secretary, business partner, mistress, and all three of his dental hygienists. All of them, however, have alibis, even his wife. She was thirty miles away at the time, in front of dozens of witnesses, and recovering from shoulder surgery, to boot.

Troy knows what he saw, but the fact that he was projecting outside his body when he witnessed the murder makes his story problematic at best. Caught now in a tawdry web of sex, lies, and jealousy, he and fellow detectives Bethany Hale, Seth Augustine, and Callista Lee will put their skills to the test to pick up the killer’s trail before someone else on Dr. Neal’s list gets the hook.

About the Author

Gordon Bonnet

Gordon Bonnet has been writing fiction for decades. Encouraged when his story Crazy Bird Bends His Beak won critical acclaim in Mrs. Moore’s 1st-grade class at Central Elementary School in St. Albans, West Virginia, he embarked on a long love affair with the written word. His interest in the paranormal goes back almost that far, although it has always been tempered by Gordon’s scientific training. This has led to a strange duality; his work as a skeptic and debunker on the popular blog Skeptophilia, while simultaneously writing paranormal and speculative novels, novellas, and short stories. He blogs daily, but is never without a piece of fiction in progress-driven to continue, as he puts it, “because I want to find out how the story ends.” Stay up to date with Gordon and all his writing and appearances on Facebook, Twitter, or at www.gordonbonnet.com. You’ll also find more great fiction on his writing blog, Tales of Whoa.

Lawless Frontier

On the lawless frontier of the late 19th century, Fort Smith, Arkansas, was the last stop before Indian Territory—a land crawling with outlaws, fugitives, and desperate men who thought the badge held no power. They were all wrong.
Judge Isaac C. Parker, the legendary “Hanging Judge,” was appointed to bring order to the most violent criminal jurisdiction in America—and he needed enforcers willing to ride straight into hell. The Deputy U.S. Marshals who answered that call became legends—men like Bass Reeves, Heck Thomas, and countless others whose names have been lost to history. Armed with a badge, a fast horse, and unshakable determination, they tracked murderers, thieves, and desperados across 74,000 miles of untamed wilderness.
Award-winning author and historian Velda Brotherton brings their stories to life in Lawless Frontier, an essential tribute to the men and women who rode for the judge—and for justice—in the wildest reaches of America. The book features a foreword by New York Times bestselling author and retired Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Marc Cameron, offering unique perspective from one of the modern West’s most respected lawmen.

Land of the Blind

When justice is blind, vengeance sees clearly.
Marion Tullos hunts men—the kind who traffic in flesh, steal innocence, and leave devastation in their wake. She brings them to justice or delivers judgment. The choice is theirs.
Marion and her battle-scarred uncle, Lummy Tullos, follow a trail of terror carved deep across the Western landscape. Every town, every saloon, every shadowed road brings them closer to a single name whispered with dread: The Buyer. Ruthless and untouchable, he is the one-eyed man who has made himself king in a land of the blind.
Once a victim herself, Marion knows all too well the cost of letting evil go unchallenged. But vengeance is only part of the fight. Every mile tests her courage, every confrontation threatens to drag her into darkness, and every choice could cost her the one thing she has never allowed herself…. hope.
Fast, fierce, and relentless, Will Rogers Medallion-winning author Anthony Wood delivers an unflinching story of one woman’s quest to strike down those who prey on the innocent. In a world that has lost its sight, Marion Tullos is the reckoning.

They Came for Blood

When the past comes for blood, you either draw first or die trying.
Tom Callahan was once the government’s deadliest secret—a lethal gun-for-hire leading a team of assassins no one knew existed. Now those days are long gone. Or so he thought.
Now an aging cowboy trying to keep his ranch alive, Callahan wants nothing more than peace… and a sliver of forgiveness. But when word reaches him that his wife and son—long believed dead—may still be alive, that peace turns to dust.
From railroad corruption to a secret slave trade, outlaw towns to Washington’s back rooms, every mile drags Callahan deeper into the rot of the nation he once served. Hunted, framed, and haunted by the men he used to ride with, he’s forced to become the one thing he swore he’d never be again—a killer.
In a world built on blood, there’s no clean way out. To save his family, Callahan will have to face the ghosts of his past—and decide if redemption is worth the price in bodies.
New York Times bestselling author M. William Phelps delivers a brutal, timely, and cinematic Western thriller where the trail to the truth runs red and redemption rides a pale horse.
