Inkubator Books is pleased to announce that Close Range from Paul Heatley will be published on Amazon on September 13, 2026.
On this mountain, there is only one rule: survive.
Drifting through rural Pennsylvania, Tom Rollins is just looking for a place to sleep when he’s arrested by a couple of overzealous deputies and thrown in a cell on a trumped-up vagrancy charge.
But when Tom leaves a pair of jailhouse thugs on the floor, the men who caged him realize he has a very particular set of skills. Skills which are desperately needed by local power broker Sebastian Huskey.
Huskey’s teenage nephew, Jack — grieving the loss of his family, hooked on meth — has vanished up Furness Mountain, and Huskey wants the boy found and brought to safety.
Tom agrees to help. It should be a simple job.
It’s anything but. On the mountain, Tom meets moonshiners who will kill to protect their secret and a storm that nearly buries him alive. And when he finally finds Jack, he realizes his troubles are just beginning.
Powerful people want the terrified teen dead. Now Tom is the only thing standing between Jack and a bullet — as they are hunted by cops, hired guns, and a lethal female sniper.
The mountain has become a deadly battleground with one simple rule – only the strong survive.
Close Range – book 22 in the bestselling Tom Rollins action thriller series. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Jason Kasper and David Archer.
