About the author

When Colin was 10 years old, he spent Christmas with his grandma who gave him a copy of "The Hound of the Baskervilles." As he read in on a cold night listening to distant trains passing, he became addicted to mysteries. His dream to write a suspense novel himself came true with the publication of his first book, "Reprisal" in 2010, followed by two more: "Fallout" and "Flashover." In over 30 years of work as a prosecutor and Public Defender, he has gathered stories of both humor and tragedy about the criminal world. He includes many of these stories in his books.

[Lynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, Fallout sure has a LOT going on. Now I live in Minnesota and I'm happy to say that my life is not at all reflected in this story. It was terribly fun to recognize my beautiful state, though. Would someone from California appreciate the mention of Crystal, Maple Grove, and the frozen tundra of the north? Probably not, but they'll keep turning the pages to find out what happens next!
