STATE OF ANGER: A Thriller (Virgil Jones Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Series Book 1)

As leader of the Indiana State Police Major Crimes Unit, Detective Virgil Jones tackles only the toughest cases in the state, and the one he faces this time has the city of Indianapolis on edge, near the brink of panic. A team of serial snipers begin using their own personal brand of vigilante justice, and their first two victims are murdered right in front of the governor’s mansion.

With no witnesses and very little evidence, it is up to Detective Virgil Jones and his team to find out who is responsible for the mysterious killings. But Virgil has his own problems, both personal and professional. Among them, a backlog of cases that require his attention, the sudden reappearance of his long lost friend, convicted felon Murton Wheeler, and he is in love with Sandy Small, one of the investigators in his unit. As Virgil and his team follow the killer’s trail, the clues they uncover begin to paint a portrait of betrayal, deceit, bloodlust, and greed, and in the midst of it all, Virgil and Sandy make a personal discovery so profound it will change their lives forever.

STATE OF ANGER is a story of life, love, murder and mystery; one that examines the depths of human emotion and the dark places they often lead us all.
