Counter Strike
A vicious skinhead gang has found a promising new recruit. Tom Rollins.
Three months after losing what was left of his family, Tom Rollins is a ghost drifting through the American South.
In South Carolina, he steps into a cage fight to save a stranger from a beating and finds the violence dulls his grief. It’s not what a therapist would suggest, but it’s healing of a kind.
His prowess in the cage draws the attention of the men running the fights — the South Carolina Skinheads — and then the FBI, who want Tom to infiltrate them. The gang is mixed up in something far darker, and their leader, a former Green Beret, answers to a mastermind no one has ever seen.
Tom agrees to go undercover in the gang. And finds himself up against a shadowy adversary who is smart, ruthless, and always seems to be one step ahead.
But Tom’s got some demons to exorcise and if the South Carolina Skinheads and their mysterious puppet master want a fight, he’s ready to bring them an ocean of pain.

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.
