The most dangerous man in Texas is loose...

In the latest adrenaline-fueled Baker & Tate thriller, Texas Rangers Ruth Baker and Aaron Tate are thrust into a deadly manhunt that tests their loyalty, instincts, and resolve.

When Joe Ripple—an infamous serial killer with over seventy confirmed victims—escapes from a maximum-security prison, panic sweeps across Texas. Aging but still lethal, Ripple somehow slips through one dragnet after another, leaving a bloody trail in his wake. People are terrified. The media warns of another murderous rampage. Ruth and Aaron are ordered to assist the U.S. Marshals in bringing him down before more blood is spilled.

But as the Rangers dig deeper, the case takes a startling turn. They learn that Ripple’s breakout isn’t random—it’s personal. For decades he has lived quietly in prison, working as a librarian, sketching picture books for the great-granddaughter he adores. Ayla is the only bright spot in a life otherwise defined by violence, and now she has been taken by her abusive father, a powerful federal officer who will stop at nothing to keep her. Only Ruth and Aaron care enough to learn the truth: Ripple has broken free not to kill—but to save.

Now, they find themselves caught between the official manhunt and a truth that challenges everything they thought they knew. The question isn’t just whether they can stop Joe Ripple—it’s whether they should.

PRISON BREAK is a relentless, high-stakes thriller packed with explosive action, nail-biting suspense, 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.
