This week I'm featuring Survival (Fallout #1) by Lisa Harris. I really enjoyed it. It was interesting reading about characters trying to solve a crime after the power grid has gone down.
Welcome to Shadow Ridge, where Longmire meets Jericho.
A dead body. A missing suspect. A town fighting for survival.
In today’s world, law enforcement agencies across the country rely on forensic tools, DNA testing, and crime labs. But what if that technology was suddenly no longer available? No one in the small, west Texas town of Shadow Ridge knows what took down the power grid, or when it’s going to be back up, but everyone knows exactly where they were the moment it went down. And now, with no electricity, no internet, and no modern technology, the men and women responsible for keeping the town safe are going to have to learn how to fight crime all over again.
When one of the men in charge of storing food for the town of Shadow Ridge is found murdered execution style, it’s up to Jace McQuaid to find the killer. What he discovers is a group of organized raiders who are stealing supplies and selling them on the black market—and the survival of the town depends on stopping them.
Morgan Addison’s estranged brother, Ricky, shows up at her house demanding weapons and confirming her fears that he’s a part of the outlaws. Tensions are raised further when Ricky kidnaps her son to ensure his safe passage out of town. Jace must find a way to save Noah and ensure the survival of Shadow Ridge.
~Survival is book one in the new Fallout series. Each novel contains a standalone mystery, but there are overarching stories that tie together the entire series.

Book Beginnings
Garrett McQuaid looked up into the barrel of the gun and knew at that moment he was going to die. But if this was his day to die, he wasn't going down without a fight.
Friday 56
Jace leaned against the desk and studied the two boys standing in front of him. Tracking down another dead body had not been on his agenda today, but then again, had anything gone as planned recently?
What have you been reading lately?
The quotes are pretty intense. This looks like a good one. Have a great weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteRead this one and enjoyed it! Can't wait for book 2. My post: https://moretoodiscover.blogspot.com/2021/11/book-spotlight-fridays-saving-mrs.html
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for book two! Hope we both love it! :)
DeleteWhile I'm not sure this one is for me I do love the premise of a town disconnected from the power grid, because that really does change everything you might otherwise see in these kind of novels! I hope you enjoy it and that you have a lovely weekend :)

Thank you! It really does create some interesting obstacles.
DeleteOh that sounds good! Something different. It might have been set here in SA with our current load shedding status once again. This week we have been without around 6 ago of power on a daily basis. Such fun!
ReplyDeleteI am going to take a look at this one.
Have a good weekend!
