NOT DEAD ENOUGH

Sheriff Colt Harper believes that combat veterans share a lifetime bond of loyalty with their fellow Marines. But when his service buddy Robert “Flip” Wilson, who slid into an oblivion of drugs and crime after returning from the Gulf War, shows up in his county and kills a man, Harper’s loyalty to his friend smashes into his duty to the law. The two men find themselves on opposite sides now, fighting a different kind of war, where the battlefields are their hearts and souls…and losing will cost them everything.

Featured Reviews:

“Mississippi sheriff Colt Harper has his loyalties tested in the standout third series entry from Thompson… Admirers of S.A. Cosby and Ace Atkins will appreciate Thompson’s combination of hardboiled crime tropes and psychological depth.”

-Publishers Weekly

“Full of crisp, realistic dialogue and spot-on local color, Thompson weaves a story that builds like a coming thunderstorm and explodes with a crack of lightning and thunder in a satisfying ending.”
