Would you kill someone to be with your family? When a local minister and his wife are found dead, it sets in motion a swirling chain of events that pulls Kelly Sage into the center of a family in turmoil, and Cole is left out of the loop. Regulations, prejudice, and apathy have left Native American Veteran, Michael Blackbear, alone and longing for his wife and child in Iraq. A chance meeting with Cole may get him the help he needs to cut through all the red tape and reunite his family. But, desperate people do foolish things and the wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly. A human trafficker has a plan, but at what price? It seems it may be the only option left. Will Blackbear’s desperation send him down a path the warrior is ill-equipped to return from? Murder, robbery, embezzlement, jealousy, resentment, Indian unrest, cast a long shadow over Orvin, Oklahoma, and the thin veneer covering centuries of hate begins to crack. If you like LEE CHILD, DAVID BALDACCI, and JOHN SANDFORD, Micheal Maxwell could be your next favorite author. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soul of Cole is a murder mystery with more edges than a finely cut diamond .” – Ron Vincent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I just loved this book, it is my favorite of the series, so far. I did not think I could enjoy Micheal's books any more than I already did and with this edition to the Cole Sage series, I do. Lots of twists and turns and the warm heart of Cole. I could not ask for more” - Ann Marie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “As always a well written book by a great author . Poor Cole. A new life and a new place, so different from his past. How do you adjust to change? How do you set new goals? Are you sure this is where you belong? You will have to read it to see Cole’s answers. Believe me, you will keep reading and reading and turning pages to find out. I found myself reading ALL night to finish the book” - Donne Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Master storyteller Michael Maxwell has woven these scenarios with slow government processes, prejudices, family dynamics, and so much more, into another intriguing Cole Sage mystery!" - Jo Whitehurst

Micheal Maxwell has traveled the globe on the lookout for strange sights, sounds, and people. His adventures have taken him from the Jungles of Ecuador and the Philippines to the top of the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge, and from the cave dwellings of Native Americans to The Kehlsteinhaus, Hitler’s Eagles Nest! He’s always looking for a story to tell and interesting people to meet. Micheal Maxwell was taught the beauty and majesty of the English language by Bob Dylan, Robertson Davies, Charles Dickens, and Leonard Cohen. Mr. Maxwell has traveled the globe, dined with politicians, rock stars, and beggars. He has rubbed shoulders with priests and murderers, surgeons and drug dealers, each one giving him a part of themselves that will live again in the pages of his books. Micheal Maxwell has found a niche in the mystery, suspense, genre with The Cole Sage Series that gives readers an everyman hero, short on vices, long on compassion, and a sense of fair play, and the willingness to risk everything to right wrongs. The Cole Sage Series departs from the usual, heavily sexual, profanity-laced norm and gives readers character-driven stories, with twists, turns, and page-turning plot lines. Micheal Maxwell writes from a life of love, music, film, and literature. Along with his lovely wife and travel partner, Janet, he lives in a small town in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
