SOUTH OF NOWHERE

JEFFERY DEAVER

South of Nowhere, by Jeffrey Dever, is a fun read that makes the reader feel as if they are accompanying the main character.

Colter Shaw is a reward hunter and tracker, and usually that’s as far as it goes. In South of Nowhere, the fifth in the intriguing Shaw series, Colter is called in to help after a levee breaks in a town in California. Four people die, and Shaw is called in to find out what happened to the family and where the vehicle containing the corpses is. After some time, Shaw believes that the entire town is at risk because the levee may collapse almost immediately. Upon further inspection, he finds an anomalous substance near the destroyed levee. He wonders if the collapse was an accident or a deliberate criminal act. Many balls are in the air as the reader deals with this exciting and entertaining adventure. Readers should keep their eyes peeled for more of Colter Shaw, and if they have not yet, they should read the first four books in the series, although South of Nowhere can undoubtedly be read as a standalone.
