About the book
Penned by an actual private detective, this stunningly addictive series will be your new obsession.
Private Investigator Mackenzie August moves to Roanoke to start over.
So does a criminal kingpin nicknamed The General.
The town isn't big enough...
After years as a Los Angeles homicide detective, Mackenzie August has traded flashing lights for quiet streets, single fatherhood, and the occasional dull PI job. But peace doesn’t last long. When Sheriff Andie Stackhouse shows up with a folder of murdered girls and a plea for help, Mackenzie finds himself drawn into a case that’s equal parts tragedy and trap.
The victims are young. The killings are savage. And the trail leads straight into the halls of a local high school, where a rising gang leader known only as *the General* is recruiting soldiers and burying secrets.
Against his better judgment, Mackenzie poses as a teacher, pushing his cover story to the limit. Between the dangerous charms of a beautiful attorney named Ronnie, and the deadly cat-and-mouse hunt unfolding around him, Mackenzie must confront what he left behind in Los Angeles: the part of himself that’s willing to break the rules to do what’s right.
Tough, funny, and unflinchingly human, August Origins delivers everything readers crave in a detective series—crackling dialogue, heart, and a hero who can throw a punch and quote Shakespeare in the same breath.

Author Brent Towns keeps the action coming thick and fast, let’s you up for a breath and then drags you back in for more.
After he is betrayed and shoots the two most powerful men in the Irish Mob, John “Reaper” Kane is forced into hiding. He thinks Retribution, Arizona, is the perfect hiding place, but he is wrong. Underneath the old, crusty surface of the dying town, hides the Montoya Cartel, for they use it as a funnel to ship their drugs across the border.

Things go from bad to worse when Kane is arrested by Cleaver, the deputy in the cartel’s pocket, for shooting a local gang member.

When the trail leads him to the rugged Oregon coast in his battered RV, Kade isn't the only surprise for the sleepy little town. There's a body on the beach. Signs of a horrific ritual killing. Kade soon discovers he's the only one who can solve this grisly murder.
Meanwhile, his former colleagues, an elite FBI surveillance unit, are closing in. He's got little time to solve the murder and collect the evidence he needs to prove his innocence.
But inside him, a devil stirs. One that threatens to change his quest for justice into pure revenge. This new case will awaken the dark legacy haunting him. Remind him of the unforgiving world he was born to behind the walls of a remote militia compound known only as Fort Black.
Will Kade stay loyal to his oath? Or will he succumb to the vengeful blood running through his veins?
Either way, one thing is certain: with vigilante Kade Black on the hunt, the guilty will pay.

About the book
An American president who will do anything to win reelection.
An Iranian leader who will stop at nothing to bring about apocalypse.
An ancient evil, only waiting to be reborn. . .
High in the Alborz Mountains of northwestern Iran, an archaeological team disappears. Americans are among the missing. Days later, imagery from U.S. spy satellites reveals detachments of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps descending upon the site. . .
With the presidential election only months away, President Roger Hancock authorizes a covert CIA mission into the mountains of Iran. Their objective: rescue the archaeologists and uncover the truth.
With fifteen years in the Clandestine Service, paramilitary operations officer Harry Nichols is unquestionably the man for the job. He's a tough, ruthless veteran operator. He's led his men into harm's way time and again.
For him, it's all about the mission. It's all about the team. He's never seen anything like this before.
The mission itself is suspect. His team can no longer be trusted. And a misstep means world war. . .
