Book Synopsis



New York Times bestselling suspense author Terri Blackstock explores complicated what if? questions in this thriller. What if you attended a concert with your best friends where a bomb exploded? What if all the evidence made it appear that you were a terrorist--but you knew you were innocent?

Three best friends attend a concert. Only one makes it out alive.

When police stop Dustin Webb with a warrant to search his trunk, he knows there's been a mistake. He's former military and owns a security firm. But he's horrified when the officers find explosives, and he can't fathom how they got there.

Criminal attorney Jamie Powell was Dustin's best friend growing up. They haven't spoken since he left for basic training, but she's the first person he thinks of when he's arrested. Jamie knows she's putting her career on the line by defending an accused terrorist, but she'd never abandon him. Someone is framing Dustin to take the fall for shocking acts of violence . . . but why?

Aftermath takes off on the very first page and keeps you glued to the edge of your seat all the way until the end with a plot that keeps you guessing, complex layers of friendship, a relentless quest for justice, the sting of betrayal, and a second-chance romance.

"A solid mystery with a romantic undercurrent. Subtle reminders of God's love are sprinkled throughout the story." --WORLD Magazine

"Blackstock keeps the suspense high throughout. Readers will have a tough time putting this nail-biter down." --Publishers Weekly

Crazy Twists

5 out of 5 stars
- 4 years ago
Aftermath had me on the edge of my seat, and enjoying every minute of it. From the horror of reading about a bombing first hand to nervously hoping the truth would prevail, Blackstock is a suspense master. The twists and turns in this book took me by surprise and that’s not an easy thing to do. I easily loved Dustin and Jamie and had fun picturing them growing up alongside each other. I could not imagine how Dustin was feeling being accused of being a terrorist. Having to prove yourself innocent isn’t as easy as it sounds, and Dustin and Jamie have an uphill battle ahead of them. Will innocent until proven guilty be true in Dustins case? Or is something more sinister at play? This story threw me for a loop several times. I had a hard time putting the book down not knowing what could possibly happen next. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Suspense with just the right amount of Romance mixed in. I received a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishing and was in no way forced to post a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

A High Speed Thriller

4 out of 5 stars
Rebecca Maney - 4 years ago
"This was the Twilight Zone. He couldn't have been more confused if he'd been on a three-day bender, but he hadn't had a drink since he got out of the army." Arrested, due to an anonymous tip regarding the explosive materials found in his trunk, Dustin Webb places a call to the one person who had always believed in him. Jamie Powell. Surprised would be an understatement. Criminal attorney Jamie Powell couldn't imagine why her best friend growing up, whom she had not spoken to in years, would be calling her from the county jail. After listening to Dustin's predicament, she couldn't agree with him more, he needed legal representation quickly. Jamie was determined to learn why the authorities had arrested Dustin as a suspect in an explosives heist, in addition to an horrific downtown bombing that killed dozens of people, including an up and coming politician. He had clearly been set up. Put on your seat belt. This amazing romantic suspense takes dips and curves at a very high speed, sending your heart into overdrive and muddling your brain to the point that you may feel as sleep deprived as the characters. Desperate people do desperate things, leaving Dustin and Jamie tangled in the "after math". "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. . . . . For it is he who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence . .. " Psalm 91

When I first started reading Christian fiction years ago, Terri Blackstock was one of my most favorite authors. I hadn't read her much over recent years, and now I wonder why because this book proves she is still at the top of her game. This book is heavy on suspense, and light on romance. It is very contemporary with headlines one would not be surprised to see in today's culture. Attorney Jamie Powell is placed in a position of defending her closest childhood friend when he is framed for a mass casualty event. Her best defense is to find the real culprits. This is one of those wonderful books where the reader can't wait to find out how all will be resolved, yet not wanting the book to end. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Thomas Nelson via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
