Ball & Chain: Books 1-3
(2026)(A book in the Ball & Chain series)
An omnibus of novels by John W Mefford
Three killers. One city. And two people who should have stayed out of it.
Willow Ball is an ER nurse who has spent her career keeping strangers alive. Cooper Chain is a disgraced sportswriter with a broken arm, a bookstore paycheck, and a debt to men who don't take checks.
Twenty years ago, Ball & Chain were college sweethearts. Now they're something far more dangerous to everyone around them: partners.
They are not detectives, but the cases keep finding them. Serial killers, kidnappers, and corrupt despots. They bicker over cars and coffee and whether Cooper has ever in his life had a good idea. They save each other's lives and then immediately ruin the moment. And every case costs them more than the last.
Gripping, fast, and funnier than it has any right to be. For readers who want their serial killers chilling, their heroes flawed, and their partnerships complicated.
