Synopsis

Death has a membership fee...

In the latest high-stakes Baker & Tate thriller, a rich rancher's obsession with a serial killer leads Ruth into a deadly game of cat and mouse.

In the latest high-stakes instalment of the Baker & Tate series, Texas Rangers Ruth Baker and Aaron Tate uncover a deadly conspiracy tied to a rich rancher's obsession with a serial killer. When Wade Hargrove, a prominent Texas rancher, is found strangled in his sprawling estate, Ruth and Aaron discover his connection to the secretive Murder Club—a group of wealthy landowners fixated on tracking the notorious Bandanna Strangler, a killer who preyed on single mothers across rural Texas, leaving them dead with navy bandannas around their throats.

As Ruth and Aaron dig deeper, they uncover a chilling truth: the Murder Club wasn't just studying the killer—they were surveilling him, using Hargrove's cutting-edge technology to watch his every move. But someone else was watching them, and now the club's members are being hunted. With each new murder, the Rangers unravel a decades-old secret linking the Bandanna Strangler to one of the club's own, a predator whose twisted motives threaten to destroy everyone in their path.

Racing against time, Ruth and Aaron must expose the killer before the conspiracy claims more lives—or their own.

MURDER RANCH is an unrelenting, high-stakes mystery thriller packed with explosive action, psychological warfare, and the trademark emotional punch Baker & Tate fans have come to love.
