Out of Jurisdiction: A Wayne Mullis Novel

By Phil Mullis

Out of Jurisdiction
A Detective Wayne Mullis Novel

When a mandatory week off takes Detective Wayne Mullis and forensic scientist Teresa Barlow from Jacksonville to the quiet mountain town of Jerome, Arizona, they expect rest-not a body in a dry wash near an abandoned mine.

The killing is clean. Professional. Not local.

What begins as an off-duty observation soon reveals ties to a decade-old Chicago murder and a criminal network stretching from Detroit to Phoenix. Wayne has no authority in Jerome-but he does have experience. And sometimes experience is enough to recognize when hiding has failed and silence has become fatal.

As pressure quietly builds and a second witness remains in danger, Wayne must decide how far professional courtesy extends when justice crosses state lines.

In a world where distance doesn't erase consequence, Out of Jurisdiction proves that even off duty, a detective's instincts never truly rest.
