Until I Get Out

A Jack Beauregard Prequel Story

A free Jack Beauregard prequel story about the case that came before Delta Justice.

Before Delta Justice. Before Gulf Storms. Before Jack Beauregard was pulled back into the shadows of Mississippi corruption, there was Until I Get Out — a Jack Beauregard prequel story about the kind of case that leaves a mark long after the paperwork is filed.

Book One

Delta Justice

A U.S. Marshal returns to the Mississippi Delta and faces a murder investigation tangled in power, corruption, and his father’s ruined legacy.

When U.S. Marshal Jack Beauregard returns to the Mississippi Delta to investigate the politically charged murder of a judge, he finds more than a case waiting for him. Old power still owns the courthouse shadows. His father’s corrupt legacy still stains the family name. And every step toward the truth forces Jack to decide how far a good man can bend before justice starts to look like revenge.

Book Two

Gulf Storms

The second Jack Beauregard thriller sends danger, secrets, and violence rolling toward the Gulf Coast.

A storm is building along the Gulf Coast, and U.S. Marshal Jack Beauregard is about to learn that some secrets do not stay buried just because the bodies do. As pressure rises and old violence pushes into the present, Jack is drawn into a case where loyalty, corruption, and survival collide under a sky dark enough to swallow the truth.

Book Three · Coming Later This Year

Pine Blood

Land, timber, blood, and power collide in the third Jack Beauregard thriller.

The Jack Beauregard story continues in Pine Blood, a forthcoming Southern noir thriller about land, timber, fraud, and the violence men will commit to keep what they think belongs to them. In the pine-shadowed back roads of Mississippi, old deals have roots, and some of them are watered in blood.
