AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

The New York Times bestselling master of suspense returns to his beloved series, adapted for TV (CBS's Tracker, starring Justin Hartley) as reward seeker Colter Shaw races against the clock to save a flooding town from a full-fledged disaster, where the culprit lurks in the plain sight.

When a levee collapses in Hinowah, a small town in Northern California, Colter Shaw is brought on by his sister, Dorion, a disaster response specialist, to help locate a family swept away by the raging water, with mere hours to survive.

But after a surprise attack along the river obstructs Colter's urgent search, the siblings are forced to consider a new reality: Is the levee at risk of failing from natural causes, or is someone sabotaging it? Colter and Dorion must race against a ticking clock to uncover the truth and save the citizens before the village washes out completely, destroying everything and everyone in its path.

Reseñas de la Crítica

One of New York Post's 30 Must-Read New Thrillers

"An exhilarating action-infused mystery. . . . Jeffrey Deaver does a brilliant job of incorporating suspense along with the harrowing drama of a natural disaster."—BookTrib

"This suspenseful thriller will keep readers off-balance and unsure whom to trust . . . Perfect for a one-sitting read."—Library Journal (starred review)

"Deaver is a first-class storyteller. . . . he takes an interesting, complex character (Colter comes from a survivalist family) and builds an intricate, unpredictable story around them. Readers familiar with Mr. Shaw will thoroughly enjoy this novel. For those who haven’t met him yet, this is a good time to rectify that."—Booklist

Not what I thought , very slow

Very slow and not a real plot to the story. Not one of his best books . I usually like anything he writes but not this time . Kept reading thinking it would improved but even the ending didn’t make sense

Colter keeps coltin’!

Deaver is a masterful storyteller and I hope five Colter books is just the beginning of a long, long search for a reward!

Better Than The TV Show

I started listening to this series due to the TV Show. I had not realized that Jeffery Deaver had written another series - I was extremely pleased!! Jeffery Deaver can WRITE!! This book is a continuation of Colter Shaw's life and the story never seems to get old! I am always impressed by the variety and depth of the characters, the consistency of the main characters, and how Shaw always seem to find himself in the midst of a multi-antagonistic situation!! The thing I think I like the best about Shaw is that he is not infallible!! He doesn't always come up with the correct answer all the time! Many times, something happens that flicks that light switch - and he gets it!! That's the way it seems to work in real life!! He really isn't any different than the rest of us - he just has different talents, like we all do, and he uses them to do what he does!! This book is no different than the others - it is well worth the read!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Great read!

The story was written well and enjoyed it. I can't wait for the next book.

Good Read!

This story, despite its length is extremely fast paced!!!! My goodness I flew through this book fast. action packed and a good story

Fitting continuation of the annals of Colter Shaw

Several months ago, after watching the series tracker, I began to listen to all of the Mark Deaver Colter Shaw books on Audible. After finishing the last one, I was very disappointed that there weren’t more. I was so ready for this one!

I love these books about Shaw

Colter it’s one of my favorite characters by Jeffrey Dever. The books are fantastic as well as the TV show. I have really loved this series if you haven’t read any you should!

Better than “Tracker”

Although I enjoy the TV series “Tracker” I like the careful planning and thoughtfulness of the written Colter. The narration is excellent and the storyline and development is great! So many subplots and they all come together! Keep up the good work!

Just Ok

I have enjoyed the Coulter Shaw series and looked forward to the latest book. I found it boring. I think the essence of the characters, especially Coulter, was neglected in favor of the river story. I also thought too many characters were brought in. And what was the point of the abused writer opening and closing the book?

slow paced

Out of all the Colter Shaw stories, this one was slow and I kept getting distracted.
