Crime Fighting Detective #19
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA man named Hale schemes with bar owners in Osage County to create a false Indian trade operation as a front for robbery and theft. After establishing the business and building up capital, Hale targets a jewelry store, holding up the owner with a water pistol, but is caught and sent to prison. Years later, a parole board hears Hale's case, where a prison warden warns that Hale's wife believes her husband will kill her if he's ever released, as he knows she would never break the law again—a threat the board takes seriously in deciding his fate.
Two hardened convicts—Edward Coke and Luke Giles—meet in Calton State Prison and forge a partnership built on shared contempt for the law and a desperate hunger for freedom. When they discover a way out through the prison's crumbling walls, they seize their chance, but their breakout triggers a manhunt across three states that will test whether their alliance can survive the chaos they've unleashed.
Bill Hale rolls into Fairfax, Oklahoma with nothing but ambition and a willingness to do whatever it takes to build an empire—liquor, oil, and everything in between. After muscling his way into a bootlegging operation with Henry Grammer, Hale discovers an even more profitable scheme: using forged debts and life insurance policies to seize Indian land and property throughout Osage County. As his greed deepens and his methods turn deadly, the FBI begins investigating the suspicious deaths that keep lining his pockets.
