Last Stand
Tom Rollins returns to his hometown Hopper Creek and starts to build a life there. He finds a job, gets a place to live, and reunites with an old girlfriend. All good so far.
But something is horribly wrong with the town. A dark underbelly threatens to engulf the community. And the local cops seem to be in on it.
A designer drug called Flakka has flooded the streets. Tom, a former special operative, has seen what drugs can do when left unchecked. And he's not going to let it happen on his own doorstep.
Meanwhile, something sinister is happening in nearby Santa Fe. Someone is abducting homeless people and harvesting their organs. When one of their victims shows up in Hopper Creek, Tom feels it's his duty to investigate.
What he uncovers is beyond horrifying, a web of criminality that connects dealer and harvesters.
And with his own girlfriend earmarked to be the next victim, Tom realises he needs to do what he does best – unleash hell on the bad guys.

Paul Heatley
It’s hard to shake the grit of a Paul Heatley novel once you’ve stepped into his world. Stark, unsentimental, and laced with the raw nerve of noir, his stories don’t just depict violence and desperation—they breathe them. Hailing from the northeast of England, Heatley writes like a man who knows what it means to stare down hard truths. His fiction doesn’t flinch, and neither do his characters.
While he’s not a household name, Heatley has carved out a loyal following among crime fiction purists and noir aficionados—readers who crave the dark, the dirty, and the deeply human. His breakout work, The Motel Whore, set the tone early: stripped-down prose, seedy settings, and people clawing for survival. Since then, he’s built a body of work that reads like a bruised knuckle—sharp, direct, and unapologetically raw.
Tom Rollins Thrillers
In a world where violence often whispers before it shouts, the Tom Rollins series prowls through backroads, seedy motels, and forgotten towns with a steady hand and a loaded gun. These thrillers aren’t about saving the world—they’re about surviving it, one bloodied mile at a time.
Tom Rollins doesn’t seek trouble, but he’s haunted by it. A former black ops soldier turned drifter, he moves through the underbelly of America like a ghost with a conscience—always drawn to the broken, the hunted, the ones the system left behind. Each story drops readers into a new pocket of decay and danger, where morality is blurred and justice isn’t always clean. There’s no bureaucracy to slow him down, no badge to protect him—just instinct, experience, and a deep, unshakable sense of right and wrong.
Tom Rollins Thrillers consists of twenty books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
