Synopsis

Detective Virgil Jones knew it would come back on them one day. He just didn’t think it would happen quite so soon...

When Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Agent Chris Dobson goes after one of Virgil's own, he does so in a horrific manner, one that leaves Virgil and his wife, Sandy in shock, and exiles two of their best friends at a time when they need them the most…

Virgil's life is in a state of chaos. He's managing a new family, a bar he owns with his best friends, he’s trying to unload two-thousand acres of inherited farmland in Shelby County without giving up the mineral rights, and he is working both for and against the head of the MCU, Ron Miles. But something else is happening as well: He feels as if his mind is not his own and the turmoil and confusion have placed him at a crossroads...

Three months ago, Virgil rescued a young woman, Patty Doyle, from certain death. As a result, Patty and her uncle, Rick Said, show their gratitude by using Virgil’s Shelby County farmland as a test bed for their new natural gas extraction method, one that Virgil hopes will free him and his family from a major burden in their lives. But while extracting core samples for testing, Patty is once again forced to face her demons, all while making a discovery that will either save Virgil financially, or ruin him once and for all…

But Patty’s discovery brings pure evil to light, and Dobson's thirst for revenge put forces in motion that change everything. And when it does, not only does Virgil once again find himself and those he loves at the very center of terror, he makes an unexpected and perilous decision, one that will ultimately change his life forever, because for Virgil, all crossroads lead back to Shelby County.

Do not just read one! Go all the way. This is a great package. I am not inclined to give 5 stars but Thomas Scott is a master weaver the supremely twisting turning tale.

Excellent, Edge of seat

Amazing Stories! Could not put them down!
Just finished them. My goodness! amazing stories! Could not put them down. I was in tears with State of Betrayal & State of Control.

Great Series! Looking forward to the next installment
Looking for good Kindle Mystery/Thriller/Crime books is like hunting for diamonds in Arkansas. This time, I found a real treasure in Mr. Scott's novels! Getting to know Virgil Jones and the other characters in this series as well as fast paced action and some twists along the way make it hard to turn off the Kindle.

Great Read!
Great characters and plot line. Can't wait for more Virgil Jones!

Brilliant Series
Wow! What a fantastic series. I found it extremely hard to put them down. The main characters are extremely likable and each book was action packed and for the most part kept me guessing the outcome right to the end.
