A dead friend. A dirty town. And one man who won't back down.

Captain Frank Sherman rolls into a dusty Northern California town to visit his oldest friend—only to find him dead and the sheriff's story full of holes.

The deeper he digs, the more bodies pile up. Crooked cops. A corrupt sheriff. A town so rotten it's begging to be burned down. And Sherman? He's just the man to light the match.

What starts as a simple visit becomes a full-blown reckoning, as a special forces vet turns his skills loose on anyone who stands between him and the truth.

Happenstance ignites the Frank Sherman Thrillers series with no-nonsense grit, explosive action, and a hero readers call "Reacher on steroids." If you love relentless justice and a body count that just keeps rising—this is your next obsession.
