Child's Play

Texas Ranger Justin Graves and his rebellious daughter, Christy, are dead, both murdered by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Billy Denton. Due to Justin's dedication to the department and long hours away from home, he blames himself for her life of crime, so he makes a deal with the devil to save her soul: one hundred bad guys in exchange for her pardon from hell. Now, in his rotting corpse, he returns from the grave to deliver the devil his dues, the souls of killers who got away with murder.
In Book 11 of the Justin Graves Horror Short Story Series, children are going missing in Deckers, Texas. Captain Holland of the Texas Rangers is on the case, but when another child is taken from the sidewalk in front of her home, Justin Graves comes back from the dead and joins a frantic race against time to save the little girl from her murderous abductor. Inspired by the 2002 abduction, rape, and murder of five-year-old Samantha Runnion in California, this Justin Graves story, though not graphic in detail, is highly suggestive of a very disturbing subject, pedophilia.
