Testimonials:
Price of Justice: “Brenham’s fast-paced police drama juggles a number of narrative lines and disparate characters . . . The entire cast of characters–good and evil–is well constructed and realistic, while the action-packed ending grows organically out of their varied personalities. So too does the emotional ending, which chooses intelligence over sentimentality. A gripping, fast-moving and emotionally charged drama centered on well-drawn characters with genuine motives.”
-Kirkus Reviews
Cornered: “The author delivers a rock-solid thriller that delves just as much into the bad guys’ lives as it does the good guys.’ The book delivers multiple scenes of nail-biting intensity. First-rate crime fiction for those who like their cops and criminals on a level playing field.”
-Kirkus Reviews
Rampage: “Brenham keeps things lively and constantly moving with surprisingly strong drama. Precise and unequivocally gripping; an edge-of-your-seat ride from beginning to end.”
-Kirkus Reviews
