Description
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
