About this listen
Home Fires has it all - murder, romance, intrigue, and a young, tough-as-boot-leather hero!
Top Texas Ranger investigator Jake Morgan heads home to wait out an administrative leave of absence from the Rangers, but Jake’s return to his Midwest town turns perilous when he asks probing questions about the bizarre death of his best friend, Gage Burnell. Morgan’s return home fans the embers of his first love, Pam Mitchell, whose family members are the most likely suspects in the murder of Burnell.
In the tradition of Wyatt Storme and Cole Springer, W.L. Ripley scores again with neo-gunslinger Jake Morgan, a young, razor-sharp investigator who burns with passion and his singular moral code.

Critic reviews
“I’ve been a fan of W.L. Ripley for a good long while. Home Fires is another barn burner: tough, exciting, with a tricky mystery at its core. If you’re a fan of Robert Parker and Elmore Leonard, don’t miss Ripley’s latest. One of my go-to, must-read authors.” (Ace Atkins, New York Times best-selling author of The Shameless and Robert B. Parker’s Angel Eyes)

Story
Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort.
