It's a big month for new books at Brash... including two new novels in two of our most popular crime series.

SHERIFF COLT HARPER IS BACK

Phillip Thompson's OLD ANGER, the OUTSIDE THE LAW sequel you've been clamoring for is finally here... and wowing some of the biggest names in crime fiction.

Joe R. Lansdale says that "OLD ANGER has some sweet echoes of the past while being something modern at the same time. Pacing is outstanding and the story is engaging. It has a western rash under its skin. Recommended."

And S.A. Cosby, author of the wildly-acclaimed new crime novel Blacktop Wasteland, says, "Phillip Thompson combines the visceral verbal skills of Craig Johnson with the white knuckle tension of Stephen Hunter. OLD ANGER will leave you soaked in sweat and gasping for air."

Here's the plot:

Sheriff Colt Harper believes he's colorblind in his enforcement of the law. But is he? When a black man is murdered, it ignites age-old anger in the African-American community over the injustices they've endured and forces Harper to confront his own personal demons. Harper's single-minded pursuit of justice for the dead man thrusts him between two volatile groups—furious blacks who don't know if they can trust him and racist whites who want to use the controversy to spark a bloody race war.

THE STORME IS HERE

THUNDER STORME, the long-awaited fifth novel in the Wyatt Storme series, is now available in paperback, ebook, and soon in audio! Sales are booming and the rave reviews are flooding in.

"Ripley ably juggles humor and violence. Those looking for a testosterone-saturated romp will be satisfied."
—Publishers Weekly

"The perfect storm of witty banter, clever action, and compelling mystery."
—Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author of Robert B. Parker's Jesse Stone series

"If Travis McGee and Jack Reacher had a love-child it would be Wyatt Storme. Fasten your seat belt and get ready for the kind of wild ride that only W. L. Ripley can deliver!"
—Phoef Sutton, New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award winning writer/producer

Here's the plot:

Former NFL All-Pro Wyatt Storme and ex-CIA assassin Chick Easton are fishing on the Lake of the Ozarks when gunmen blow by them in a boat, chasing a determined woman seeking justice for her family. Wyatt and Chick save the woman and are swept into a violent battle for control of a new casino and all the riches and power it will bring. The Kansas City mob, the Dixie Mafia and the local syndicate have them out-numbered and out-gunned but it's the gangsters who should be worried. There's a deadly storm coming... and his name is Wyatt.

You can order the book here.

And there's more good news in your W.L. Ripley weather report—all four of the previous Wyatt Storme novels are all available on audio on Amazon, Audible and iTunes.

BLANCHE ALL-IN-ONE

All four ground-breaking Blanche White mysteries by Mystery Writers of America grandmaster Barbara Neely, Winner of the Agatha and Macavity Awards, are now in one bargain-priced ebook volume... BLANCHE... which is FREE for Kindle Unlimited subscribers.

"One is tempted to describe Blanche White as a combination of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins… but it would be a crime to suggest she is anything less than a truly original creation."
—Los Angeles Times

MESS WITH TEXAS

Jim Sanderson's SAFE DELIVERY, the first book in his Texas trilogy, is now available in ebook and trade paperback.

Jerri Johnson is a P.I. in San Antonio Texas, tracking down bail jumpers and serving subpoenas, when her old lover Vincent Fuentes is released from prison and tries to draft her into a plot to smuggle guns over the border. Her friend Joe Parr, an aging Texas Ranger haunted by the ghost of his dead wife, tries his best to keep Jerri out of trouble, but he knows it's a losing proposition... and that this time, it might be a lot more than her heart that gets broken.

Legendary crime writer James Crumley raved that SAFE DELIVERY is "a wonderful and unique mixture of smart crime novel, a classy love story, and a hard vision of the Southwest. I loved it from beginning to end."

SAFE DELIVERY is followed by EL CAMINO DEL RIO, featuring U.S. border agent Dolph Martinez, and then LA MORDIDA, which brings together Dolph and Jerri in a gripping crime story.

You can order SAFE DELIVERY here.

But if you want to grab all three at once, we've combined them into a single-bargain priced ebook—MESSING WITH TEXAS—which is FREE for Kindle Unlimited subscribers. You can get it here.

We hope you will stay safe, and brash, at home this holiday season with a good book and the comfort of your family.
