Malice Within

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.

A murdered deputy. A sheriff’s office full of secrets. A case where nothing adds up.

When Dominion County Sheriff’s Captain Ron Neff is called to a remote crime scene in Oregon’s high desert, he finds his friend and colleague, Deputy Bill Baker, shot dead. The evidence points to a drug deal gone wrong. But as Neff digs deeper, he uncovers a tangle of contradictions that refuse to make sense.

Witnesses disappear. Forensic clues are tampered with—or vanish entirely. And Neff’s own department seems determined to bury the truth.

Then a second case surfaces—one that may be tied to Baker’s murder. It threatens to blow the investigation wide open, but pursuing it could cost Neff everything.

With pressure mounting and trust crumbling inside the Sheriff’s Office, Neff must navigate a maze of lies, corruption, and danger. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that someone powerful doesn’t want this case solved and is willing to kill again to keep their secrets.

Malice Within is a gripping, atmospheric crime thriller about murder, power, and betrayal set in the stark beauty of Oregon’s High Desert. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, James Patterson, and C. J. Box.
