Another good story that keeps you hooked to the pages as you go along. Here Tom has received word about an old Army buddy killing himself and decides to go to the funeral. Once there he runs into another friend who does not think it was a suicide and when he begins to talk to others, especially a therapist who had worked as a deputy at one time things just don’t add up. Here this book has some action but it is a who did it at least for me, I was surprised at the end and this turned out to be a very good book with good characters once again.

This was one of those books that I was given the opportunity to read by Paul Heatley, the folks at Inkubator books (and NetGalley, of course) but I was engrossed in another series of of books and authors during the time that I had the file available to me and i missed out.

From what I read about the book, it will remain one of the big misses that I shall regret as it sounds like it was a great book with lots of detail.

Paul Heatley definitely sounds like an author that I would be interested in reading in the future. As such, I am looking at starting the series back at book 1.

I haven't read any of this series before but it didn't seem a problem as it works well as a standalone. We follow Tom Rollins as he travels to a small town to attend the funeral of an army colleague. There he investigates the circumstances of his death. This is a slow burner to start as the scene is set and ramps up fast as Tom gets more involved in the investigation. Well written and fast paced at the end we are rooting for Tom to solve mystery of the death. With thanks to Netgalley and the author for this ARC copy.

A military squad is pinned down in a trench in Afghanistan. Lorne Henkle, Adam’s buddy, is badly wounded by an RPG. He begs Adam to leave him and save himself.

That was a number of years ago. The pair have gone back home and are trying to make a life for their families. The small town of Samson was very peaceful until the drug lord chose this location for the control center of his drug operations. Adam and Lorne have become a real thorn in his side.

The hit squad of nine people are not expected to have a problem with them and they will take over the town as soon as the two are eliminated. The local sheriff seems incapable or unwilling to reduce the threat.

This book is very well written and points out the problems faced by many veterans who come back home to a family and community that has changed. The drug gang hit squad will not allow the town to be protected nor the business plan to fail but they did not count on special operations veterans! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. 5 stars – CE Williams

Ghost Team by Paul Heatley.
Tom Rollins gets news that an old Army buddy, Adam Lineker, has killed himself. But at the funeral, another friend confides that he doesn’t believe the suicide story – he thinks Adam was murdered.Sticking around the small town of Samson to investigate, Tom goes up against the disinterested and hostile sheriff, and finds an ally in Adam’s therapist, herself an ex-deputy.Tom soon discovers that Samson has a lot of unsavory elements. A militia is based nearby, and they’re intimidating the townsfolk.
Really good read. I did like Tom. Didn't like the sheriff.
I did like Malani and Lorne. I do hope there is more to come. 4*.

This book definitely starts slow. I was wondering if it was going to pickup as it’s supposed to be an action book. It does. Slow.ly, it builds until everything just explodes. I enjoyed it. I’m impressed by Tom Rollins but I really thought Lorne was incredibly brave! I was kind of hoping that Tom and Malina would stay together. #GhostTeam #NetGalley

Tom is caught up in the death of an old army comrade. He saved Adam's life a decade ago and he never struck him as the suicidal type. Their buddy Lorne is also sure that Adam has been murdered. Travelling to a small town for a funeral really shouldn't let loose this much mayhem.

I've dipped in and out of this series, the books are interconnected but they can read as standalones and you'd easily fall into the world. There are plenty of action sequences and Tom even gets time to spend with a pretty Therapist. There are several big bads to take on and they may not all be working towards the same outcome.

There is also a very dark streak of humour. While Tom may superficially be seen as another Reacher type character (who I also thoroughly enjoy reading about) Tom is all about writing wrongs and slightly less strategic about it. Can't wait to read more!

First time reading a book by Paul Heatley and it was worth it. A bit over described at times,
but it painted a good picture.
Good plot, characters, and twists-n-turns galore. Will definitely read more from the author.
Thanks to Netgalley and Inkubator books for the ARC and I do recommend this book when released.

Tom Rollins is back and we get a little more background on his days in the army. But mostly Ghost Team by Paul Heatley is all about what can happen when you go to a funeral. It is as usual a well written book and it has some twists that I didn't see coming. We also get the usual mayhem and action that readers of this great series expect. Oh, and humor. I really like this series and I'm still amazed at the rate this author produces books. This is the fourth book this year about Tom. Well done sir. I have been following this series since the start but that is not so long ago. I can really recommend that you try this series and if you get the feeling that it's similar to Reacher, forget it. The only likeness is that they both are single men roving from place to place. I am grateful to Netgalley and Inkubator books for giving me an advace copy of this book.

Buckle up. This one is full of twist and turns and stockers. It's full of loyalty, action, betrayal, and death. This author makes sure you keep turning that page with his writing because you dont want to but this one down.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

In the eleventh book of the series, the author has definitely found a hit, The protagonist uses his special skills to create an action-packed thriller that keeps the reader reading with little need to suspend reality. Well-designed plot and excellent characters to populate the tale.

This is an action-packed book, entertaining and easy to read, as always. This time the action is a bit more realistic, and the plot is well thought out.

Another edge of your seat thriller with Tom Rollins as the main character. I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. Paul Heatley is on top form with this book and this is his best book yet in the series. Highly recommended. .
