Synopsis:
Agent
Jamie Dallas loves undercover assignments that get her out of the Phoenix
Bureau. But when a woman and her baby disappear from an isolated community of
preppers in Northern California, she knows the risk of infiltrating the armed
group is dangerously high.
Once
inside the compound, she discovers that the brothers who founded Destiny are
scheming something far more devious than kidnapping or murder. Meanwhile, her
local FBI contact, Agent McCullen, is pulled from her team and assigned to
investigate the murder of a woman with phony ID, found at the bottom of a motel
pool.
Soon
Dallas finds herself in deeper trouble than she's ever encountered—with no way

The Trigger is a gripping story that highlights our greatest fear—how a
megalomaniac and a hacker-for-hire can threaten civilization as we know it.

My Thoughts:
This is the first
book in what will be the Jamie Dallas series. Jamie is an FBI investigator
sent undercover to locate the whereabouts of a missing woman and child from a
small commune of “preppers” – people who are preparing for the end of the
world. A simple assignment leads to something much bigger.
Agent
McCullen, her team contact gets pulled from the team to investigate a murder.
He’s not happy about it because he’s become interested in Jamie and the missing
woman is an old flame.
The more Jamie finds out about the two brothers who own the prepper community, the more she
realizes that there is something much more sinister going on. Her discovery
leads her to a plot to start a world war and cause a total disruption of the
financial markets and internet systems.
L.J. Sellers
has done an excellent job of weaving together a believable story with a
plausible plot. With the ability the hackers have to infiltrate systems, this
storyline could happen. The book moves along at a good pace keeping the
interest of the reader. The characters are likeable. I enjoyed the book.
I look forward to reading more Jamie Dallas books. I rated the book four stars out of five.
Thank you to
the publishers, Spellbinder Press, through NetGalley, for providing an advance
reader copy in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All
thoughts are my own.
