THE NATHAN CALLOWAY SERIES: BOOKS 1-3
Three relentless military thrillers. One veteran who answers when nobody else will.
In Albuquerque, justice runs out long before the paperwork does. Former Air Force Pararescueman Nate Calloway is what happens next.
THESE THINGS WE DO The call comes on an ordinary Tuesday at an ordinary desk job: Ryan Matthews is dead. Drowned during a night swim at Cochiti Lake, according to the Air Force. Except Ryan was a pararescueman, the man who taught Nate the job and once dragged him out of a firefight in Afghanistan, and PJs don't drown taking a swim. Ryan's widow doesn't believe it either. She has something for Nate — a manila envelope her husband prepared in case something happened to him. At the funeral, three men watch from a distance instead of paying respects. The detective on the case keeps glancing over her shoulder. And by the time Nate finishes reading what's in that envelope, he's already being photographed by someone who wants him to know it. Even his fourteen-year-old daughter can see the drowning story is a lie. What Nate can't see yet is how far the people behind it will go to keep it one.
SACRED GROUND
Carlos Sandoval finds Nate at a coffee shop near Kirtland with a phone full of photographs: unmarked trucks running at night, dead fish in Coyote Creek, sick livestock on Sandia Pueblo land. Carlos is an Army veteran who's already done everything right. He reported it to the EPA. To tribal police. To the state. Nobody moved. Then Nate meets the family. Carlos's kids can't shake their coughs. His grandfather Joseph, a respected elder, is getting sicker by the week. And the stream feeding their gardens runs straight past a ravine stacked with chemical containers nobody will claim. The tribal police have documentation. The BIA points to the EPA. The EPA quotes three months minimum. Whoever is dumping out there knows exactly where the jurisdictions overlap and exactly why that means no one is coming. So Nate parks his truck in the dark and waits to see what comes down the service road at midnight.
NO FIXED ADDRESS
Tommy Reeves jumped out of airplanes for the 82nd Airborne. Now he sleeps rough in the War Zone, Albuquerque's most dangerous stretch, and three years on the street have taught him to keep his head down. It doesn't save him. A drug deal turns into a shooting a few yards from where he's bedding down, and when the police arrive there's a body, there's Tommy, and there's nobody else. No ID. No address. No alibi. They stop looking that night. Sarah Martinez, the VFW post commander who's known Tommy for years, has watched the system process him like paperwork: an overloaded public defender, a routine case, a plea deal waiting for a signature. She's heard what Nate did for the pueblo. She's asking him to do it again. To find out what really happened, Nate has to earn the trust of witnesses who scatter when they see a badge — in a neighborhood where MS-13 is watching everything, and the man who actually pulled the trigger needs Tommy convicted.
Perfect for readers of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, Jack Carr's Terminal List series, and Gregg Hurwitz's Orphan X series.
Three cases. One veteran who won't stand down. Start reading tonight.
