THE BROKEN TRUTH by Reavis Wortham is the second book in the Tucker Snow Thrillers, and it throws Tucker right into the action as he and his brother Harley engage, outmaneuver, and outsmart the bad guys. This time the bad guys are professional killers involved in keeping unsafe oil drilling practices and radioactive materials from being uncovered, even if it means eliminating anyone in their way.
Tucker Snow is a Special Ranger for the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. His territory runs from Texas to Oklahoma, where increased cattle thefts have caught his attention. After pursuing one such cattle thief, Tucker realizes they are a well-organized unit. Tucker's suspicions are raised when a local rancher and his wife vanish, along with everything else except an empty home. Later, when Tucker is approached by an outsider asking him to forget about the conversation he and the rancher recently had, Tucker goes on high alert. Tucker has no idea what the man is talking about, but he knows something sinister is occurring in his territory. When Tucker rebuffs a bribe from the man, his family is threatened. Now the gloves are off as Tucker and his brother Harley embark on a mission to uncover the truth, protect their family members, and make it out alive.
THE BROKEN TRUTH is an adrenaline-filled thriller with relentless pacing and continuous action. There are plenty of high-risk situations where Tucker and Harley use their physical skills, resourcefulness, tactical skills, and shooting expertise to extract themselves from precarious situations. Harley is more easily triggered to violence, whereas Tucker sticks to his moral code of living right and doing right, that is, until his family is threatened. The plot evolves nicely from cattle rustlers into a bigger story involving EPA regulations, contaminated materials, and radiation poisoning. Tucker’s backstory includes the death of his wife and younger daughter in an accident; subsequently, Tucker’s wife, Sara Beth, is the voice of reason in his head when he is faced with dangerous dilemmas. THE BROKEN TRUTH provides readers with an action-packed thrill ride complete with characters as tough as the Texas sun, heroic as the day is long, and as honorable as a judge when it comes to protecting their neighbors, their land, and their families.
Special Agent Tucker Snow knows there's big money roaming the fields under the wide Texas sky—and the cattle rustlers committing large-scale thefts on remote ranches know it, too. But when a prominent local rancher dies unexpectedly and his property is quietly sold to an unknown buyer, Tucker suspects there's something more sinister going on in his jurisdiction than the usual steal-and-resell racket. Still raw after the tragic death of his wife and young daughter, the lawman can't bear the thought of more innocent lives destroyed by people whose greed poisons everything around them.
Working alongside his brother, Harley, Tucker uncovers a dark ring of organized crime that goes well beyond cattle rustling—a breed of deception and greed that has turned into a silent killer and will take down anyone who crosses its path. The question is whether Tuck and Harley will be able to shut it down before it finds the people they love the most…
