When Earl’s bride Morgan vanishes in the Smoky Mountains on their honeymoon, the former Navy SEAL is certain she’s been abducted. The park rangers disagree, and after a storm washes away any potential evidence, they call off the official search. Then another man loses his daughter in the same area. Can one last lead help Earl find Morgan before he loses her forever?

This is the first book I have read by this author but it won’t be the last!  I think I read this all in one night.

This story is fairly fast-paced from the moment that Earl meets Morgan, to their wedding and honeymoon six months later.  They say you never know where you find love and for Earl and Morgan it was in the dentist office with Morgan treating Earl’s bad tooth.  Now I’m not sure I would want to go camping on my honeymoon but more power to those that like something a little different.  However, the honeymoon does not go as planned when Morgan is abducted from their campsite.  I can’t even imagine what she (or anyone in a similar position) endures at the hands of their captor(s).  The one upside is that Earl has his family supporting him and to Earl, a family is more than just those that are related to you.  I appreciated the stories of how some people came into the family and the hand that Earl extended to someone that was helping him find Morgan as they added a deeper human element.

The story really picked up steam when Earl is contacted for a special mission to rescue women being held in the hills of Tennessee.  I don’t want to spoil anything but I was intrigued by the group of men, their skill sets, their backgrounds, and that they were willing to take on this mission to save these women.  Granted Earl has a personal motive but anyone else could have walked away.

There are some lighter moments and others that make you want to cheer because justice is being served.   I did have an uneasy feeling about one character and turns out I was right to feel that way but you’ll have to read the book to figure out who I might be talking about and how they fit into the plot.

I don’t think I would put this book in the mystery category, maybe more suspense or thriller, but either way, it was still an enjoyable read and we give it 4 paws up.

Bill grew up in the oil and gas refinery town of Phillips in the Texas Panhandle. After graduating from college with a master’s degree, he spent most of his career working for a major insurance company as an agency manager and consultant.

As his retirement was on the horizon, he had an idea about a book. That story, Pepperman’s Promise, became the prequel to The Pepperman Mystery Series, and Perplexity and Panic Point, the next two books in the series, are now available.

Bill and his wife of fifty years live in West Texas.
