No Badge Required: A Jake Morgan Thriller Kindle Edition

Take a wild ride through the labyrinth of murder and small-town politics in W.L. Ripley’s latest western crime thriller.

Jake Morgan is a throwback investigator—a stubborn, no-holds-barred neo-gunslinger whose bold investigative style unsettles friends and criminals alike. He also has a sideways sense of humor and wit so cutting it leads to others challenging him to no avail.

So what happens when a murder arises, and the only suspects are the powerful men capable of destroying the investigation and Jake Morgan himself?

Jake comes in guns blazing, ready to take down the untouchable Country Club group—rumored to sexually exploit women—after an exotic dancer is found murdered and tossed aside.

In his youth, the parents of former Texas Ranger Jake Morgan never corrected him with a “Don’t talk back to me.” He honed the concept into fine art and uses it wherever he goes to irritate the local population, like into backwoods politics and crime. Jake doesn’t like crime, either. Despite arousing antagonism wherever he goes, along with a few more corpses, Jake plows ahead. He takes the reader into nice plot twists and gorgeous writing. Don’t talk back, just read this superlative story.

Could have been edited better. Too many misspelled words and incomplete or sentences or incorrect use of words. Plot wasn't bad but would not recommend the Jake Morgan series.

In this second entry in the series, Jake finds a dead woman with connections to a powerful clique in the state. He pushes, probes, and jokes around, finding his way to the men behind it. At the same time he is also pursuing his girlfriend, who is sorely miffed at him.

Pretty good stuff. Not as much gunplay as one might expect, though.

Sir Ripley you wrote a kick - ass story. I finished this novel in a few hours. This was truly a page turner. I enjoyed every aspect of the story with no issues. Jack Morgan is the new age detective that we come to love. I only ask that you don't take a year to write the next book.
