Brothers Carl and Roy Opgard have succeeded in life. Or at least they’ve had as much success as is possible in a small town like Os, where they've killed their way to the top. Carl manages the swanky spa hotel, while Roy has made ambitious plans for an amusement park.
Life’s good at the top. But the local sheriff is looking to bring them down.
Sheriff Kurt Olsen believes he has new evidence that will prove the brothers’ involvement in several past murders – but Carl and Roy are used to covering their tracks, and they're not afraid to get their hands dirty.
The body count of Os is about to get even higher.
Blood Ties is an explosive suspense novel about family, loyalty, and what someone is willing to do for both.
