About THE RIGHTEOUS PATH …

Sheriff Matt Simms' days are numbered. Diagnosed with liver cancer, and waiting for a transplant, Simms remains steadfast to the things that matter: his friends, his wife, and his duty to protect the citizens of Parker County.

The series of home invasions on the elderly is sudden, savage, and seemingly without motive. Shaken to his core by the brutality, Simms delves deeper into the attacks, discovering a family's secrets and a connection to a decades-old crime. Then there's the missing teen-ager, and a mother unsure what's happened to her daughter. Meanwhile, Matt struggles to help his friend and former deputy in the wake of a life-changing injury that has driven the man to the brink of despair.

As events escalate and turn explosive and deadly, Simms must put everything at risk—even his own life—to catch the killers.
