A new breed of killer has hit Dallas. The victims? They bleed blue. And the brotherhood is calling in the cavalry: one Booker T. Adams, PI.

Excommunicated from the Dallas Police Department for refusing to overlook conduct unbefitting an officer, Booker has every reason to slam the door shut when the chief pleads for his assistance. But Booker can't turn his back on the community he's always felt drawn to protect, even if it means getting in bed with someone who tried to ruin his life.

As pandemonium floods the city from the inside out, Booker chases an invisible plague. He can't stop what he can't see. And then the unthinkable happens. Another killing...and this one guts him.

Driven by an eternal camaraderie he'd once shared with his long-time partner, Booker shifts into overdrive to end this sinister game, some sort of sick vigilante justice.

A vengeful fury of his own takes hold. And the damned can hear him coming.


Fans of Alex Cross and Jack Reacher will enjoy this private investigator thriller novel full of suspense, action, and crime.

Q&A with author John W. Mefford:

Q: What made you want to write a private investigator series?

JWM: I've always had strong desire to write private investigator thriller novels. When I was young, I was drawn to books, TV shows, and movies that featured a private detective with a little bit of attitude, a rebellious streak so to speak, a determined, gritty soul who used every gift they possessed to solve the case, but for a higher purpose than just paying the rent. I enjoy private detective novels that know how to create and build suspense...and then deliver a mind-splitting thriller with plenty of crackling action.


Q: What can we expect out of the BOOKER Private Investigator Thriller Series of Crime and Suspense?

JWM: To put it simply -- a roller-coaster ride brimming with action and suspense. The characters are tested to their limits, Booker in particular, which adds all sorts of interesting layers to his evolution. There's always a bit of humor mixed in, along with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding thrills. Born in South Dallas, Booker is driven to do anything in his power to protect the mixed bag of people living in his city. But even with the best intentions, Booker is dragged into seedy situations, slammed into obstacles that seem insurmountable. The man's got substance, though, which make his thriller moments even more powerful.


Q: How many books are you planning to publish in the BOOKER Private Investigator Thriller Series of Crime and Suspense?

JWM: Six and a half. Sort of. Six full BOOKER private investigator thriller novels are planned for release in 2015 and I recently published a novella (considered Volume 2.5). After that, there could be more. I can envision at least three more stories. But it's hard to predict where my imagination will end.

Q: What's the recommended order to read the BOOKER Series?

JWM: The novels can be read as stand-alone, but I'd recommend reading them in the following order:
BOOKER - Streets of Mayhem (Volume 1)
BOOKER - Tap That (Volume 2)
BOILERMAKER - A Lt. Jack Daniels / Booker Mystery (Volume 2.5)
