A Long Violent History: A Military Thriller Where Every Lie Leads to a Loaded Gun

Rate this book
A letter from the past. A dead man in the dirt. And Sherman heading straight into hell.

When a cryptic message surfaces about his father’s past, Frank Sherman heads to a remote coastal town. What he finds is a place rotting from the inside—run by a smuggler family, protected by silence, and haunted by an old betrayal that’s ready to explode.

The locals want Sherman gone. That only makes him dig in deeper.

When a body is discovered, the cover-up moves fast. But Sherman’s been in too many wars to miss the signs. This town has history—and he’s about to rewrite it.

A Long Violent History is the final ruthless mission in the Frank Sherman Thrillers Series—where small-town secrets don’t stay buried, and justice never shows up unarmed. Perfect for fans of Jack Reacher, The Gray Man, and Victor the Assassin
