True Crime

The addictive new small town mystery thriller

By: Sam Baron, John Ash

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Obsession is a dark, twisting path...

When Texas Ranger Ruth Baker catches the murder of a small-town detective found dumped on a remote ranch, she expects a tough case. What she doesn't expect is where it will lead her.

The victim, Travis Maitland, was a dogged investigator who died chasing a case nobody else believed in. As Ruth and her partner Aaron Tate retrace his final weeks, they uncover the work of a man who was on the verge of something big — something that someone would kill to keep buried.

Meanwhile, in a nearby town, a group of women who call themselves the Bloody Bookmarks meet every week to feed their shared obsession with true crime. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, debated the cases. They know how killers think and how the guilty are caught. But when their amateur sleuthing crosses a line that can never be uncrossed, their cozy book club becomes a pressure cooker of guilt, paranoia, and betrayal. Trust shatters. Alliances shift. And someone among them has a plan that the others can't see — one that will leave a trail of bodies far beyond that first terrible night.

Ruth Baker has solved cases that would break most investigators. But as these two worlds hurtle toward a violent collision, she'll face a case where the line between victim and killer has never been harder to find.

True Crime is an unrelenting, high-stakes thriller packed with explosive twists, psychological warfare, and the trademark emotional depth that Baker and Tate fans have come to love.
