In Spite of Thunder

by Thomas Mark McKinnon

FBI agent Frank Adler’s life is upended when his daughter vanishes on what should have been the trip of a lifetime. No witnesses. No demands. No trace.

Refusing to wait for an investigation from the sidelines, Frank breaks protocol and follows a trail of clues that lead him into a shadowy underworld. As he digs deeper, he finds himself caught in an interconnected web of lies, cartels, cover-ups, corporate greed, and dangerous players who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.

With the body count rising and time running out, Frank must uncover the truth before he loses everything he loves.

4.25 ⭐️ - I'm not normally a fan of FBI/Cop tropes, but my sister chose this one for our "sister read" this month. This was really good! Not what I was anticipating at all. Started off a bit boring, tbh, but after the story started moving forward... it was a ride! My heart was literally racing when I would read from the daughter's POV. I really had a good time reading this book. I can't get into too much without spoilers, but I wish there was a little bit more in the book regarding the aftermath of the daughter, and I was a little disappointed with how it ended, but I assume there is a 2nd book coming.

Couldn’t put this book down! Every time I thought I knew what was coming next, I was blindsided by another twist! I hope there’s a sequel!
