The Jake Crosby series is set in the backwoods and hunting lands of Mississippi, where the quiet rural setting hides real danger. Jake works as a wildlife land manager, a job that puts him in remote places where things can go wrong quickly and help is far away. Author Bobby Cole draws on his own experience with Southern outdoor life to create a setting that feels lived-in and real.
Starting with The Dummy Line in 2008, the series puts Jake in situations where crime and the outdoors collide. Whether he is dealing with poachers, land disputes, or outright criminals, Jake has to think on his feet and use what he knows about the land to stay alive. The books move fast and keep tension high without losing the Southern atmosphere that makes them stand out from other thrillers.
