[Jack Wilde Thriller 01] • Shadow Files

Buckle up and hold on tight for the twists and turns and exotically-charged dangers of three complete and unabridged noir thrillers from the pen of acclaimed author R.J. Jagger. If you like Jagger's Nick Teffinger series, you'll love these equally riveting pulse-pounders featuring private investigator Bryson Wilde.

THE SCROLL LAWYERS

Set in 1952 Denver, THE SCROLL LAWYERS is R.J. Jagger's debut book in a new series featuring private investigator Bryson Wilde. In this riveting pulp noir thriller, Wilde finds himself entangled with two attorneys, one a solo practitioner and one an associate at Denver’s largest law firm, who are cast into the throes of a deadly thriller when a mysterious messenger delivers a package to their restaurant table.

THE SHADOW FILE

Senn-Rae Vaughn, Esq., a beautiful young solo attorney, hires private investigator Bryson Wilde to conduct an investigation on behalf of her client that is so dangerous and against the rules that she can’t even tell her client it is being done. Almost immediately both Senn-Rae and Wilde are thrust into a staggering thriller of unimaginable consequences.

A WAY WITH MURDER

Private investigator Bryson Wilde (The Scroll Lawyers, The Shadow File, Blond Chase) lives in an edgy 1952 world where the dames are dangerous, cigarettes dangle from ruby-red lips and the nights are hotter than whiskey-soak jazz. In this twisty noir thriller from acclaimed author R.J. Jagger, Wilde’s hunt for a killer sends him spiraling into the seductive world of a beautiful woman who increasingly becomes more and more dangerous to know.

These books were previously published as Scroll, Die Pretty, Night Trap.
