The Record Keeper

Murphy Shepherd has spent his life slipping into the shadows to rescue women and children from human traffickers. After a mission that nearly kills him, he wants to stay near his wife and daughters in their coastal refuge of Freetown, a hidden community where survivors can heal. But when his mentor and closest friend, Bones, disappears, Murphy is pulled back into a dangerous hunt that stretches across networks of power and corruption. The Record Keeper follows Murphy in third person as he pursues clues, wrestles with past wounds, and confronts the man behind a global trafficking empire. Themes of sacrificial love, justice, faith, and redemption run through every page. Readers who appreciate clean, suspenseful fiction with a strong moral core and a focus on rescue, family, and quiet romance will find this series finale especially powerful.
