Sometimes the freshest blood spilled can lead to a secret submerged for decades. And if that secret sees the light of day, it may have the power to destroy anyone exposed to it. Keeping the Secret, the debut mystery novel of former investigator Jeff Robinson, draws from the wealth of his own criminal cases to lay down a fast-paced, uncannily authentic tale of intrigue, which charts cold-blooded killers, while also stoking the flames of the heart. With grit, humor, and modern day verisimilitude, this story of high suspense, hidden secrets, and emerging longings is certain to grip anyone who loves a dead-on detective novel with a little romance in the mix. Sergeant Tom Hastings of the Eddy County, New Mexico, Sheriff's Department is riding reasonably high. After all, he recently solved a series of murders committed by a sociopathic human trafficker dubbed the Killer Coyote. Not only that, he's snagged a date with a crime analyst named Ruby Franklin, who is as sharp as she is alluring. However, the road becomes perilously bumpy for Tom when he answers a call for a routine car accident that is clearly far more than a roadside crash. And when the feds appear on the scene to shove the sergeant to the side, Tom realizes that the stakes in this affair must be gravely high. What's more, events unfold in the days before he is to testify that cause him to question his arrest of the Killer Coyote. He is soon embroiled in an investigation of the new murders, which unwittingly place himself and Ruby in the sights of international mercenaries, and under the eye of a secretive federal agency who are guarding a sixty-year-old secret. Keeping the Secret keeps the suspense heart-racingly high, and the romance just as heady. It promises drama, excitement, and the genuine article, as can only be delivered by a dyed-in-the-wool career cop with an investigator's eye for the details and plot twists that make for a searing, steamy crime story.
