In the high-stakes world of the South Texas oilfields, competition is fierce—and somebody’s playing dirty.
This gritty Texas private investigator mystery is fast-paced and relentless—where oilfield sabotage, big money, obsession, and murder collide under the unforgiving South Texas sun.
When PI Iris Raines is hired to find out who’s vandalizing her client’s oilfield operations, what looks like an expensive nuisance quickly becomes something far more dangerous.
Drilling rigs, contractors, and critical equipment are in short supply, and every disruption sends costly ripples through an entire development program. With millions riding on keeping the oilfield moving, Iris heads into the brush country to figure out who wants her client stopped—and why.
Then somebody starts shooting.
From remote lease roads and drilling locations to small South Texas towns, Iris follows a trail of sabotage, deception, and increasingly deadly warnings. The closer she gets to the truth, the clearer one thing becomes: someone has a lot to lose if she keeps digging.
Unfortunately for them, getting Iris Raines to back off has never worked particularly well.
With the stakes rising and the violence escalating, Iris is racing against the clock to stop a killer before another innocent life is lost.
Fast-paced, razor-sharp, and packed with danger, dark humor, and twists, Dead to Rights delivers another high-stakes ride with private investigator Iris Raines. Written by a licensed private investigator who spent thirteen years as a petroleum landman and decades investigating for oil companies, Dead to Rights is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, and Robert Crais.
