Synopsis

The government is after someone, but who—and why?

As the small resort town of Kapac, Ohio, prepares for their annual August festivities, another preparation is underway of a more malicious nature. A suspicious toxic spill on the only road in or out, by unknown agents, quarantines the town and threatens not only its livelihood, but also its very life. Shut off from everything, nearly a thousand trapped residents—with only a limited local food supply—lose power, and with that, city water and sewage, and then communications. The government is the only entity powerful enough to pull this off, but why? Who are they after?

Undersheriff Casey WhiteCloud has his hands full when he is the only law left in town during the incident. When a serial killer emerges, the scared, hungry, and increasingly angry population turns on each other.

And then the heat gets turned up. Literally. And people start to die.

About Deborah D. Moore

Deborah D. Moore lives a quiet life in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. She was born and raised in Detroit, the kid of a cop, and moved to a small town to raise her two young sons, then moved to an even smaller town to pursue her dreams of being self-sufficient and to explore her love of writing. Her first published novel, The Journal: Cracked Earth, made the bestseller's list in just six weeks, and was followed by Ash Fall, Crimson Skies and Raging Tides; the first three were turned into a trilogy. After that came Fault Line and Martial Law to complete the Journal series.

Deborah has also written a cookbook, based on her off-grid experiences in the woods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Many of her recipes have evolved from foraging: from ramps, fiddleheads, and cattail flowers in the late spring, to various wild mushrooms all summer long.

Goodreads review by Jilly

Well, I can't be a smartass for this review. It was just too close to home to joke about. This story is really timely because it is about a mass shooting. It really gets in-depth with what happens with those who survived and how their lives were changed. So, the book is divided into sections. The firs......more

Shelter in Place 8 minutes - a mass shooting - a physical and emotional aftermath that leaves countless lives changed forever This was a gut wrenching book to read in light of the mass shootings we have endured but I found it well written. Roberts' focus wasn't solely on the shooting itself. The book......more

In the space of a few minutes, the lives of those visiting or working at the DownEast Mall and adjacent theater in Rockpoint, Maine were permanently altered. Three shooters decided that whatever was wrong in their lives warranted the selfish actions they took in those moments. Survivors Reed Quarter......more
