Robert Bailey’s two standalone novels offer a break from his legal thriller series. The Golfer’s Carol (2020) steps away from the courtroom entirely for a story built around golf and personal redemption. The change of pace shows Bailey’s interest in telling different kinds of stories even as his legal thriller series continue.
The Boomerang (2025) is Bailey’s most recent standalone. For readers who enjoy his series work, the standalones provide an alternative that still reflects his southern settings and character-focused approach to storytelling without the legal procedural framework.
