Former black ops specialist Tom Rollins is working as a short order cook in San Francisco. Living the quiet life. Or at least trying to.

But for a man like Rollins, trouble is never far away.

Tom has just spent the night with local cop Nina Perry when the two of them are snatched at gunpoint and bundled into the back of a van.

The motive for this seemingly random kidnapping soon becomes clear – a federal building is blown up by terrorists and Tom and Nina are being framed for the attack.

After a daring escape, Tom and Nina go on the run, pursued by a black ops team and a gang of crooked cops who have a grudge against Nina.

With an entire city on his back, can Tom clear his name? Can he find the real bombers and take them down?

It’s the longest day of Tom Rollins’ life. And it’s only just begun.

Tom Rollins Thrillers

The series

Full series details →

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.

Read full series description

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.

The atmosphere is thick with menace—trailer parks pulsing with tension, gas stations lit by flickering neon, rusted-out trucks hiding darker secrets. There’s a brutal elegance in the way these books unfold: spare prose, tight pacing, and characters who bleed in more ways than one. Rollins himself is no superhero. He makes mistakes. He gets hurt. But he keeps going. And that’s what makes him unforgettable.

Gritty, suspense-driven, and unafraid to get its hands dirty, this series delivers the kind of raw, emotionally-charged storytelling that crime thriller fans crave. It’s not just about what happens next—it’s about what it costs to get there.
