"This series has captivated me from the very beginning. All the characters are so well written, you just have to fall in love with them all, even if you don’t know whether to root for them or not. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, you end up getting surprised." - Amazon Reviewer


A city under siege for reasons unknown. A desperate race to restore order.



When a sudden terror campaign erupts across Sacramento targeting people, infrastructure, and businesses big and small alike, FBI Special Agent Sadie Gray is pulled onto a joint terrorism task force with her partner, Brad Tulle.



The strategic attacks feel too surgical for one madman, but none of the expected chatter exists and no one group is taking responsibility. The result is maximum fear with zero suspects. As California's capital city locks down, Sadie, Brad, and the joint task force find themselves in the ultimate ticking time bomb situation, playing cat-and-mouse with an adversary bearing no apparent motive, yet…



Fast-paced, intense, and razor-sharp, this FBI thriller is a heart-stopping addition to the #1 best-selling Sadie Gray FBI mystery series, a riveting tour-de-force complete with procedural authenticity, high-stakes action, and an explosive climax you'll feel but won’t see coming.



The Shockwave Manifesto will put Sadie and Brad back on their heels, and is perfect for fans of the series, police procedurals, domestic terrorism thrillers, and page-turning crime fiction. Readers of Mary Stone, Elle Gray, AJ Rivers, Alex Sigmore, DD Black, and LT Ryan will find a home with the Sadie Gray series.

The grown Sadie has arrived!

For me the other books have been decent reads, but I for one love this more grown up version of Sadie. The pacing was great with crazy characters so well written I could visualize them. And thanks for the Atlas Hargrove throwback with Esty popping up in the mix.

Captures the essence of AI

The best book in the series. AI as tool for criminals is a real threat and the authors capture that possibility. The money laundering schemes the corrupt politicians use vis a vis the NGOs is also on display. The story is very relevant considering the current news headlines.

This Could be Close

Sadie and Brad are chasing the source of simultaneous explosions in the downtown area after Sadie was almost one of the victims. Is it even possible and who were the people targeted?

Surely they will figure it out...
