High Order
Grief can be the spawn of betrayal as well as death's debris, and when it morphs into revenge, grief can fuel infernos Satan would envy. High Order draws a picture of the deadly results that betrayal can yield. It drives one man to serial murder, sends a victim's husband on a deadly campaign for revenge, and leads a third person to form a devastating plan to prevent his ex-wife from remarrying.
When Baltimore's citizens are in a jam they call the police. When the police need help, they call the Emergency Services Unit, a.k.a. the "Bomb Squad."
Lead Bomb Technician Hunter Morgan learned many valuable lessons during his three tours in Vietnam, but none more powerful than People are never more dangerous than when they feel they have nothing left to lose. Morgan, Homicide Detective Andrew Hermann and Journalist Dusty Rhodes form an unlikely trio in a desperate race to deal with the explosive results of three inter-twined cases.
High Order, Mike Sutton’s second novel, is based on actual Baltimore Bomb Squad cases and the characters are drawn from the bomb technicians, patrolmen and detectives Mike met while doing research for the book. In tribute to his family’s involvement with law enforcement (his son and his cousin man the “Thin Blue Line” in Colorado and Texas) and the many members of the Baltimore City and Baltimore Country police forces and bomb squads who assisted in the writing of High Order, 50% of the royalties from High Order are donated to various state and local police support organizations.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It kept me interested and I hated to come to the end. I found the characters interesting. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
