Do you like psychological mind blowing thrillers? Then this novel is definitely for you! I read it in one sitting-and am still shivering at some of the images which were artfully portrayed by the author's choice of words. Booker-a police officer is suspended after he finds one of the other officers beating up on an old drunk and will not lie and change his story.
Then the bombings begin----and Booker is bound and determined to help find the culprit or culprits responsible. He is toying with the idea of becoming a PI and does get his first job thanks to an old friend who owns a bar that Booker frequents. There is actually a bit of comedy, albeit street comedy, in this novel as friends interact with friends.
You will know who the bomber is and possibly why he does this--and all is explained at the end of the book. Does Booker become a PI--will he reconcile with his daughter's mother? All I know (or am willing to say at this point) is that I am glad this will be a series--one I will be following!
NEW RELEASE....
On a cool October afternoon, the majestic blue sky above Dallas is polluted with swells of gray smoke, carrying shattered memories of fifteen people, mostly children, who've just been killed by an explosion on a bus.
A white supremacist group claims responsibility, opening old wounds, turning neighbor against neighbor--fracturing the community.
A Southeast Dallas native, Booker T. Adams couldn't be more invested in the city…in the people he'd served for the last seven years as a beat cop for the Dallas Police Department. Without warning, it becomes personal for Booker on so many levels. And as panic grips the city, he must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice to end the chaos.
With his career called into question and his family in the crosshairs of one terrorist act after another, Booker invests every fiber of his being to protect a broken community, and to stop the brutal, senseless slayings.
If he fails, terrorism will reign in the city of Dallas.

When he’s not writing, he chases three kids around, slaves away in the yard, reads, takes in as many sports as time allows, watches all sorts of movies, and continues to make mental notes of people and societies across the land.
John lives in Frisco, Texas with his beautiful wife, three opinionated kids, and a feisty fat cat who rules the world.

I don't know if I would like this book or not but I do love the cover.

I really enjoy a series. I love getting to delve into the characters. It sounds like this is one that I would definitely be following his story to see how it all plays out.
I don't think I've ever read a book in one sitting, but there are books that I go "Ok, I am going to read one more chapter, then do the dishes." Come back. "One more chapter, then sweep the floors." lol. This sounds like one of those kind of reads for me. One that I just have to rush through my chores so I can get some more into the story.
I'm making it a mission to read more. I haven't haeard of this book but I'll definitely be checking it out.
I'm not normally into thrillers, but this does sound interesting. I think my husband would love it.
This sounds fabulous. Exactly the kind of book I love!
I would improve the people... With my gun.
I so loved this book. Kept you on your toes all thru/
I will recommend this book to a friend. He loves thriller books.
This sounds like an amazing read! Awesome!
Growing up in Oklahoma I was always interesting in reading stories centered around Dallas, a place I would visit all the time. I like to see just how accurate they are about the surroundings.
I'm always spending too much money in books at Amazon. I could definitely use the prize for myself :)
I LOVE thrillers - my favorite genre of all. This sounds so good, especially since it's the first book of the series.
So when I looked at the cover of this book, I immediately wrote it off as something I wouldn't be interested in, and then I read the synopsis and I think I have changed my mind. I could get into this. It sounds interesting, and also an important dialogue about race issues. I look forward to reading your thoughts on the rest of the series!
Born and raised in Texas I just love Texas based books. This sounds like a great read, thank you for sharing!
This sounds like an amazing book. I love books that are a part of a series.
I'm definitely a sucker for a thriller! Sounds like a good one!
Looks like a great read!
I would ask for more lights. Some of the streets are too dark at night.
I actually love these kind of books and what a great giveaway to go along with it. Means I'll be able to buy more books.
This sounds so good! I'm just now watching the old HBO series The Wire and am loving it. This book is right up my alley. If I were a beat cop in this area, I think I'd try find ways to help child victims.
Another awesome book I need to read!
If I were a beat cop like Booker...I'd look for ways to help the less fortunate in my area.
I would try to stamp out the bullying that is going on in my area.
crime prevention
I would set up cameras to stop crime!!
Thank you for having this giveaway and the chance to win. I would put up more street lights, and make sure that the ones that are up are continuously lit. I would also provide the school communities with my services.
