The Joe Tyler series by Jeff Shelby is nine books long, published between 2011 and 2019. Every title follows the “Thread of…” naming pattern, starting with Thread of Hope and ending with Thread of Truth. The books came out at a steady pace, with one or two releases most years.
Reading in publication order is recommended, since the Joe Tyler character develops across the series. Thread of Betrayal and Thread of Innocence both appeared in 2013, and Thread of Fear and Thread of Revenge were both 2015 releases, so Shelby kept up a quick output during the series’ middle stretch.
