"Strong as Steel" By Jon Land: Review/Giveaway

by Sandra Murhpy

Details on how to win a signed copy of this book at the end of the review and links to purchase it.

Caitlin Strong is a Texas Ranger. It’s not like she had a lot of choice, given her genes and her background. Her dad, his dad, etc., all Rangers. The saying is “one riot, one Ranger” so you’d think going along to serve a simple search warrant would be a snap. Unfortunately, as soon as the team of computer geeks and law enforcement got off the elevator, the shooting started.

Instead of the usual synopsis of the story, I’ll say the violence in this thriller goes far beyond cozy mysteries. The plot is also more complex as events from the past merge with the present. Years ago, crates were buried along with their secrets. Now, like Pandora’s Box, the crates have emerged, and the secrets are coming to light in a most deadly fashion.

This is the tenth book in the Caitlin Strong series and is different than the first nine in that the plot isn’t two stories converging, but two timelines circling around to a time when something can be accomplished. It’s hard to tell who are the bad guys and who are the good guys when each have their reasons for helping the other side, once or as a collaboration. From an incident in Turkey, to deaths on a train, to current shoot-outs, and assumed identities, this tale will thrill from beginning to end. Keep breathing and try to keep up as the action gallops from one page to the next.
