Book Review: South of Nowhere by Jeffery Deaver (Colter Shaw #5)

South of Nowhere South of Nowhere by Jeffery Deaver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Colter Shaw is summoned by his sister Dorion to assist her disaster response company in a small town in northern California.  A levee has collapsed, people are missing, and the flooding threat is tremendous.  Once he arrives and they assess the situation, terrorism becomes a distinct possibility.

There are a lot of different characters in this book and many sub-plots, but it's still quite an action-packed page-turner.  I have thoroughly enjoyed all the previous Colter Shaw (Tracker) books by Jeffery Deaver and am glad to see he has started writing them again after a three year hiatus.  I would love to see this story turned into one of the Sunday night episodes.  And the book includes a map of the area; who doesn't like a map in a book?
