The Counting Man

He counted everything. He never once counted himself.

Robert Adkins walks into every room and takes inventory. The people. The exits. The small wrong details most people never notice. It’s made him a brilliant film producer, a careful husband, and an invisible criminal.

Then Detective K. Miller arrests him in a mall food court, in front of his wife and children, and the counting begins to unravel.

The Counting Man moves between Robert’s meticulous unraveling and Miller’s relentless reconstruction, building toward a reckoning neither of them fully anticipated. A four-point-seven-million-dollar crypto theft. An affair that didn’t stay contained. And a man who could calculate every variable except the one that mattered most.

For fans of Tana French and Harlan Coben — a literary crime thriller about the stories brilliant people tell themselves, and the people left behind when those stories collapse.

The Counting Man is Book 1 in the Miller Crime Thriller series. Print edition available Friday.
