Some secrets refuse to stay buried...
In this explosive new Baker & Tate mystery, Texas Ranger Ruth Baker faces her darkest case yet—one that strikes at the heart of her own family.
When twenty-three children vanish from a school bus in Caldwell, Texas, the case becomes personal for Ruth Baker—her daughter Ava should have been on that bus. Partnered with fellow Ranger Aaron Tate, Ruth uncovers a haunting connection to the infamous "Red Barn Killings" from twenty years ago. But as they dig deeper, they discover that Caldwell's most powerful figures may have been protecting a terrible secret all along.
With the FBI closing in and dangerous revelations about her late husband's death coming to light, Ruth must decide how far she'll go to expose the truth—even if it means destroying everything she thought she knew about her hometown.
Red Barn is an unrelenting, high-stakes mystery thriller packed with explosive action, psychological warfare, and the trademark emotional punch Baker & Tate fans have come to love.
Each book in the Baker & Tate series is a complete story that can be read on its own.
