Flip-Flop Books in Order

Former deputy Sam Strait returns home for a carefree summer and finds a stranger dead in his boat. His investigation attracts people demanding something he never knew he possessed, threatening the easygoing independence his carefully written rules were designed to protect.

Seeking warmth and a fresh start in Phoenix, Sam Strait becomes involved in a new friend’s violent death. Choosing to investigate rather than flee sends him across the California desert with outlaws in pursuit and his usual rules increasingly difficult to follow.

Sam Strait intends to stop interfering in other people’s problems until a woman claims she killed her friend but cannot remember how. Despite compelling evidence against her, his memories of being wrongly accused draw him into another dangerous investigation.

Former deputy Sam Strait follows warm weather and rules designed to keep his life comfortable. A plea from an old love sends him instead toward snow and trouble, where helping her current boyfriend threatens both his plans and his carefully maintained boundaries.
