They stole weapons and buried the trail. Now Sherman's digging up the truth. Frank Sherman returns to the California desert to visit his dying mother. But when her nurse asks for help finding her missing brother, Sherman gets pulled into something far darker than expected.

The guy was last seen dealing in stolen military-grade weapons. The FBI's circling. Locals are clamming up. And someone's making sure Sherman doesn't get too close. Now the bodies are piling up, tooβ€”and Sherman's not in the mood to walk away.

Nomad is the fourth hard-hitting novel in the Frank Sherman Thrillers Seriesβ€”where every lead ends in gunfire, and justice gets delivered up close. If you like Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, or The Gray Man, Sherman is your new obsession.
