In James Patterson''s white-hot Western thriller, a Texan Ranger fights for his life, his freedom, and the town he loves as he investigates his ex-wife''s murder. Across the ranchlands and cities of his home state, Rory Yates''s discipline and law-enforcement skills have carried him far: from local highway patrolman to the honorable rank of Texas Ranger. He arrives in his hometown to find a horrifying crime scene and a scathing accusation: he is named a suspect in the murder of his ex-wife, Anne, a devoted teacher whose only controversial act was ending her marriage to a Ranger. In search of the killer, Yates plunges into the inferno of the most twisted and violent minds he''s ever encountered, vowing to never surrender. That code just might bring him out alive.

Fast moving and well-written. And, btw, at least one of the reviewers mentioned that there were a lot of “profanities” in this book. Not so at all. A small amount of swearing—hardly noticeable—but only where one might expect such an expletive in real life. Also, I was very appreciative of the detailed gathering of loose ends toward the last, leaving no questions unanswered. Those nitty-gritty details, if left unresolved, bug the heck out of me in SO many books nowadays. Most enjoyable and exciting read. Ordered it this afternoon and just finished it tonight (approximately 10:30). Top notch — and, yes, the $15 is worth it. ;)

I was looking forward to reading this book because i’m A big James Patterson fan. I must say the quality of his work since he has started using co-authors has gone downhill. I saw very little evidence of his style in this book. It seemed too short to develop all the different aspects of the book. I don’t think Texas and the Rangers could be very happy with this book. I’m thinking about ordering your new book; but I notice there’s the same co-author. I don’t put all the blame on her. If this isn’t better, I will think twice; maybe three or four times; about spending the amount of money your publishers insist on charging for your books.

Rory Yates should never have been appointed a Texas Ranger. He''s too volatile, emotional, and allows his personal demons to control his decision making process. Not sure why the authors depicted this Texas Ranger as an emotional wreck. I get the fact that Rangers are human and have feelings but the depiction of this character in the manner in which he attempts to involve himself with the case is beyond the norm. In a sequence described in the book the author allows the character to consider breaking into a house to obtain evidence only to be called away to another crime scene. In the second crime scene the character barges into a crime scene only to be overcome by emotion and he has to be subdued by other officers. Don''t know why I keep reading? Maybe I''m hoping that the authors come to their collective senses and allow the character to evolve into a law enforcement officer who is capable of separating his personal emotional side and his crime detecting abilities.

Texas Ranger has got to be one of the very best James Patterson books that I have read in many years. I really like reading his books, especially his Women''s Murder Club series and his Private series. I just couldn''t put it down. Being in a law enforcement family, it was so interesting and seemed to be so real.I liked the storyline; it wasn''t anything you really couldn''t believe happening. He kept me wondering who-dun-it until about 1/2 way through but I still wanted to finish it to see how all the characters would end up. I was not disappointed at all! I highly recommend this book to all who love mysteries, murder and in the middle of all of it; the love of your family and friends. I sincerely hope that he writes another story along this line. 44 people found this helpful Alan M. KeenerVerified Purchase
Disaster

I have read early Patterson books and thought them ok, not great just ok. This Texas Ranger is by far the worst I’ve ever read. People should be given their money back if they bought this book.

Highly disappointed! This book read like a teenager mesmerized by a Texas Ranger wrote the book! Hollywood hype of what a Ranger can do. Rory walked towards the crime scene and a uniform police officer attempts to stop him and Rory grasp the officer by the wrist and he withers to the floor! What? Like a silly episode of Walker Texas Ranger walking around assaulting people with no consequences is so unrealistic in real Law Enforcement duties ! Just amateur and silly book !

I’m a retired cop of 40 yrs. & I read a lot of books about cops. So when I saw the title of this, I bought it, thinking it would be interesting, fun and possibly provide something I don’t already know about the legendary Texas Rangers. Wow, was I ever wrong! This book, along with the sequel which I also threw away my money on, are just awful and shouldn’t even count as literature. The stories are ridiculous, the law enforcement related information is mostly factually incorrect and the character of the Rangers is like Sesame Street with a badge. This “Ranger” is way too young and immature to ever have been selected, he perpetually whines about the stress and sounds like some millennial dwelling in his mama’s basement seeking a safe space. His lack of discipline, ethics and anger management make him more fit for a term in a juvenile offender program. The author obviously knows nothing about law enforcement and was too arrogant to get a real cop to at least proofread his work for some of the stupider mistakes like the safety on a Glock, how DNA, fingerprints, permitting, work. Etc. etc. This is strictly 7th grade writing and the author should be ashamed. I bet a real Texas Ranger wouldn’t carry a copy of this to the outhouse!

I used to really enjoy James Patterson, but he, like John Grisham, is just churning nonsense and relying on reputation to see him through. The idea in this book of a well regarded high school teacher being the equivalent of a crazed ax murderer is just silly. It''s like the author just picked a killer at the last minute--without any laying the groundwork with neat clues, etc. No more Patterson for me.

I am a huge fan of his original works but some of the joint efforts he puts his name too are mediocre at best. The characters were boring and shallow, the story had no real depth, no page turning twists or edge of your seat moments. In fact I only finished it because I paid for it! Don''t waste your money, there are much better rookie writers on kindle charging a fraction of these prices for much better work.

I did not guess the identity of the killer. I won''t say who it was because it would spoil it for another reader.I bought this at a reduced price I would not have bought it at the full price if it comes on offer again I would snap it up as it was really good. I read it in one go as I couldn''t put it down so much for cleaning up .thanks to both author''s.

I was hugely disappointed with this offereing from such an acclaimed author, it was my first and may be my last. It seems James Patterson has taken to co-writing books recently and this is one of many. Looking through other reviews it seems these collaborative works have fallen well short of his earlier books so perhaps I might try one of those but definitely not another of these.
