The Boat Man: Mystery Thriller

Just three months after the death of his partner, Police Detective Reed Mattox has mastered the art of invisibility. Transitioning to the K-9 unit, assuming the graveyard shift, and relocating to a farmhouse outside of Columbus, every decision he makes is aimed at creating distance from the outside world. However, this isolation is shattered when bodies start appearing in The Bottoms, the poverty-stricken area he patrols.

Gruesome scenes begin to emerge in the dead of night, prompting the already overwhelmed precinct to assign Reed the task of tracking down the serial killer. With a Belgian Malinois as his new partner, drawing attention wherever they go, Reed finds himself pushed beyond his comfort zone as he delves into the murders. The investigation takes him across the city and back in time, uncovering a truth that some powerful individuals are determined to keep hidden.

Despite the challenges, Reed and his K-9 partner, Billie, become a formidable team, captivating fans of mystery, thriller, and suspense genres. Readers who enjoy police procedurals, such as Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series, David Baldacci’s Memory Men series, and James Patterson’s Alex Cross series, will be drawn to the riveting tale of Reed Mattox and Billie. Note: The dog does not die.
