Ridge Lines

An Alex Harlan FBI Thriller

By: Phillip Strang

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Perfect for fans of CJ Box, Brad Thor, and Kyle Mills

After a case goes catastrophically wrong, FBI profiler Alex Harlan returns to his Appalachian hometown to care for his ailing father—and escape the guilt of three deaths he couldn't prevent.

But when a mutilated body turns up in the mountains bearing the signature of a cartel execution, Sheriff Maggie Blackburn needs his expertise. The murder method is identical to one from twenty-five years ago: the death officially ruled an accident that killed Alex's mother.

Digging into the case reveals a ruthless trafficking network called the Ridge Line Trust, operating with impunity through corruption and violence. As Alex closes in on the truth, he discovers his mother wasn't killed in an accident—she was murdered for evidence she collected against the Trust. Evidence that's still hidden somewhere in these mountains.

With each lead bringing another death and federal agents who might be compromised, Alex must confront the organization that's controlled these ridges for decades. But the Trust protects its territory with lethal efficiency, and Alex's investigation has made him their next target.

Some secrets are buried deep. Some are worth killing for.

Noticeable reused content

Storyline was OK, but content was repeated.
Some of the dialog was cheesy. When shot, the bad guy says, “You got me!”
