Tom Wallace returns with a gripping new installment in the Jack Dantzler mystery series — Bloodline — and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.
When writer Alicia Martin is murdered while researching the 19th-century slave trade in Kentucky, her friend Keitha Vincent turns to the one man she trusts to uncover the truth: private detective Jack Dantzler. Dantzler and Keitha, having shared a harrowing past, reunite to pursue justice — but their investigation soon entangles them with a wealthy, influential family guarding a dark and dangerous secret. As the truth behind Alicia’s death edges closer, it becomes clear: the family’s bloodline may run red.
But Dantzler isn’t dealing with just one crisis. College student Troy Winters is caught in a deadly criminal enterprise run by a shadowy figure known only as Iago. Facing a murder order and overwhelmed with debt, Troy seeks Dantzler’s help. What follows is a high-stakes plan that could either dismantle Iago’s empire — or get them all killed.
With its dual storylines, sharp dialogue, and expertly layered tension, Bloodline showcases everything fans love about the Jack Dantzler series: moral complexity, relentless pacing, and a detective who never backs down — no matter how deadly the game.
If you’re looking for a smart, fast-paced mystery with heart, history, and danger at every turn, Bloodline belongs at the top of your TBR pile.
