Kill Switch
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.

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.
