The Keeper

By: Charles Martin

Narrated by: Jonathan K. Riggs

USA TODAY and ECPA bestselling series

Combine James Patterson and Colleen Hoover and you'll start to understand why readers are riveted by the Murphy Shepherd series from New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin: gripping action, heart-wrenching emotion, and deep questions that deserve to be considered.

Bones--Murphy Shepherd's teacher, mentor, priest, and friend--is gone. Devastated by the loss and unsure how to continue the rescue work they started, Murph has no choice but to jump back in when the worst happens. His longtime friend and current United States vice president, Aaron Ashley, has been a silent partner in the fight against trafficking. But in spite of having the best security available, his three daughters have been taken bound and blindfolded from their home by an extraction team that left no clues and no trace--just an empty house, a bereft mother, and nine dead Secret Service agents. Only Murph and his team have a hope of finding them.

Bones may have made the ultimate sacrifice by taking down his own brother and the dark network he led, but there are still others in this network where evil is the currency and power is the prize. Soon Ashley drops out of the presidential race and a new candidate emerges--someone who is ready, too ready, to step into the race and the Oval Office.

Bones taught Murph that the needs of the one, the lost one, outweigh those of the ninety-nine. In his first rescue without Bones beside him, Murph's fight against human trafficking takes him across the globe and through the halls of government to destroy the network and save the lives and souls of those taken.

The Murphy Shepherd series is simultaneously a tender love story, a heartrending search for freedom, an exploration of the terrible cost of human trafficking, and an anthem to the power of love to create change when it shows up regardless of the cost. The Keeper raises the stakes even further, so be ready--you won't want to put it down until you reach the very last page.

He left the 99 to find the one…

Charles Martin created Murph. Bones broke and molded him. Jonathon Riggs has outstandingly delivered each novel Martin has so graciously given us. I did not want this novel to end and hoping for The Peace Keeper. Just as the novels that have proceeded this one…It’s phenomenal!

Amazingly WOW!

An incredibly surprising and satisfying finish to this series. Thoroughly enjoyable reading (or listening)!!!I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 😊

"The needs of the one outweigh those of the ninety nine." That's what still stands out.

I find myself in the shoes of the one and just like that God reaches down and picks me up and tells me I'm worth rescue! I enjoyed this book and as I read the story took me "on a ride not even Disney could imagine!" I feel it also somehow reached through time and space and healed a broken part of me I didn't know was there. Thank you for words that heal.

Absolutely wonderful!!!!!

I was so excited for this book so I preordered it!!! It DID NOT disappoint!! He is such a fantastic writer!! This story could be a TV series!!! I’m praying there will be more to this series!!! I highly recommend this book!!!
