Robbers — A Novel (Special Edition)

Two drifters on the prowl in a stolen Caddy ragtop. A woman on the run from a killing she couldn’t help. And a tough but aging Texas Ranger with a nose for chasing down fugitives. Put them all on the road in a chase across Texas… then watch the mayhem unfold in a twisting tale full of surprises at every turn.

This is the award-winning novel readers say they can’t—and won’t—put down.

Note: This Special Edition of Robbers has an Author’s Preface written specifically for the e-book.

    • TNT signed onto the project for a TV series last year, Patrick. And the project was greenlighted to start shooting shortly after… but then one of the stars of the series had to drop out and the TNT deal went into limbo. It also meant a recasting was needed and the series was put on hold until and if that is done successfully. That project remains in that status for now. I have no idea what will happen. Your guess is as good as mine. One can only cross fingers and see what happens.
