The Record Keeper

“Because you’re worth rescue.” The unrelenting third installment in the Murphy Shepherd series from New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin. 

Murphy Shepherd’s last rescue mission very nearly cost him his life. He’d like nothing more than to stay close to his wife and daughters for a while. But Bones’s nemesis must be stopped, and there are so many who still need to know they are worth rescuing. 

As the cat-and-mouse game moves into the open, Murphy is tested at every turn—both physically and mentally. Then the unthinkable happens: his beloved mentor and friend is taken. Gone without a trace. 

Murphy lives by the mantra that love always shows up. But how can he rescue Bones when he has no leads? 

With heart-stopping clarity, The Record Keeper explores the true cost of leaving the ninety-nine to find the one.
