About this listen

USA TODAY and ECPA bestselling series

Combine James Patterson and Colleen Hoover and you'll start to understand why audiences are riveted by the Murphy Shepherd series from New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin: gripping action, heart-wrenching emotion, and deep questions that deserve to be considered.

Bones—Murphy Shepherd's teacher, mentor, priest, and friend—is gone. Devastated by the loss and unsure how to continue the rescue work they started, Murph has no choice but to jump back in when the worst happens. His longtime friend and current United States vice president, Aaron Ashley, has been a silent partner in the fight against trafficking. But in spite of having the best security available, his three daughters have been taken bound and blindfolded from their home by an extraction team that left no clues and no trace—just an empty house, a bereft mother, and nine dead Secret Service agents. Only Murph and his team have a hope of finding them.

Bones may have made the ultimate sacrifice by taking down his own brother and the dark network he led, but there are still others in this network where evil is the currency and power is the prize. Soon Ashley drops out of the presidential race and a new candidate emerges--someone who is ready, too ready, to step into the race and the Oval Office.

Bones taught Murph that the needs of the one, the lost one, outweigh those of the ninety-nine. In his first rescue without Bones beside him, Murph's fight against human trafficking takes him across the globe and through the halls of government to destroy the network and save the lives and souls of those taken.

The Murphy Shepherd series is simultaneously a tender love story, a heartrending search for freedom, an exploration of the terrible cost of human trafficking, and an anthem to the power of love to create change when it shows up regardless of the cost. The Keeper raises the stakes even further, so be ready—you won't want to put it down until you reach the very last word.

The Murphy Shepherd series: Book 1 The Water Keeper, Book 2 The Letter Keeper, Book 3 The Record Keeper, Book 4 The Keeper (coming April 2025!)

Charles Martin created Murph. Bones broke and molded him. Jonathon Riggs has outstandingly delivered each novel Martin has so graciously given us. I did not want this novel to end and hoping for The Peace Keeper. Just as the novels that have proceeded this one…It’s phenomenal!

He left the 99 to find the one…

I find myself in the shoes of the one and just like that God reaches down and picks me up and tells me I'm worth rescue! I enjoyed this book and as I read the story took me "on a ride not even Disney could imagine!" I feel it also somehow reached through time and space and healed a broken part of me I didn't know was there. Thank you for words that heal.

"The needs of the one outweigh those of the ninety nine." That's what still stands out.

The foreshadowing and the emotion

These books always hit home. My favorite line is “Tell me about sheep”… the flashbacks…hmmm. Great story.

The Keeper is the 4th book in the Keeper series. Returning trafficked children to the love of their parents is the theme of this book, along with love. Please read.

The story of love is on every page!

Oh my has the wait been worth it! The characters we know, we get more of with a few additions. The love exemplified before continues and I didn’t want it to end. When it did end I sat in my car and applauded in the parking lot at work. Lots of references to previous stories so do not just pick it up to read this one, read them all first. Let us all remember that the 1 is so worth fighting for!

Charles Martin has done it again!

Fourth in the Keeper series, Charles Martin writes again of the desire to leave the ninety-nine and try to save the one. Although Christ is never mentioned, Martin again uses the Biblical quote as the basis of saving exploited girls (and boys) from sexual slavery.
Martin has left the door open for another book in this series. Although The Keeper gives a lot of background, be sure to read the series in order to get the full effect

Left room for another

I have enjoyed all this books but this book just seemed to use too many words to tell the story.

Wordy
