THE TEXAS JOB follows the story of Tom Bell a Texas Ranger, who arrives in a town near huge oil field (oil boomtowns) to catch a murderer. In search of this killer, he finds truths about ruthless capitalists, corrupt officers and gangsters who take advantage of the people mostly from the Native American Tribes living in or near the boomtown so they could get rich off the liquid gold flowing underneath the soil. Now its Tom Bell, a handful of Texas Rangers versus these criminals. Honestly this is the type of historical fiction I want to read. Daring and dashing..

From the author’s note at the end I understood how much he has researched for this story! The characters in this story are framed from the real events that happened in 1930s Texas. The author has also mentioned that this book would be a treat for the fans of his Texas Red River series, because this story tells the early life of Tom Bell who is also the MC in the historical action series set in 1960s. This is my first book from author Wortham, now I’m definitely going to look into his other works, just because reading this book felt like a thrilling action movie with fast paced storyline!

Overall, The story is as rich as the history of Texas. Add to your tbr, this book,comes out next year!! Thank you Poisoned Pen Press for the arc via Netgalley.

Organized crime, Prohibition, and oil boom meet Texas Ranger, and guess who wins. Excellent story with a strong protagonist bring East Texas to life in a thrilling, action-packed adventure
