"Rise the dark. These were the last words written in Lauren Novak's notebook before she was murdered in a strange Florida village. They've never meant anything to the police or to her husband, investigator Markus Novak. Now the man he believes killed her, Gardland Webb, is out of prison and draws Markus to the scene he's avoided for so long: the lonely road where his wife was shot to death beneath the cypress trees and Spanish moss in a place called Cassadaga. In Red Lodge, Montana, a senseless act of vandalism shuts the lights off in the town where Sabrina Baldwin is still trying to adjust to a new home and mourning the loss of her brother, who was a high-voltage linesman just like her husband, Jay. As the spring's final snowstorm calls Jay deeper into the mountains, chasing the destruction to the electrical grid, Sabrina is abducted by Garland Webb, Lauren's purported killer. Drawing them all together is a messianic killer who understands that you can never outpace your past. You can only rise against the future"--Jacket.… (altro)

Rise the Dark is the quote from Charles Manson, the driving force between the characters in this book and the title of the book. It is a story that has to do with power and blind followers. It is a story from beginning to end keeps one on edge. Of course, the story could not be fully ended it had to leave the reader hanging on the edge as to what the ending would be which was quite predictable. Four stars were given to this book in this review. ( )

This book is #2 in the Markus Novak series. Novak is a private detective tormented by his wife’s murder and haunted by memories of his family he left behind long ago. As he searches for answers about his wife’s murder, he is unexpectedly forced to return his homestead in Montana to help another private detective search for a missing woman. Koryta is such a talented writer to connect so many characters. I love how he incorporated Nikola Tesla into the foundation of this story. ⚡️ While the book concludes with the loose ends tied up, Koryta manages to leave me wanting to know what’s next. ( )

Rise in the Dark is the second Mark Novak series book and it's comfortable reading. Two story lines are expertly brought together in an electric ending (couldn't resist). Our main character is a continuation from book one, but everyone else is different...bad guys and good guys. ( )

The plot was well developed but the characters needed more work. ( )

The one thing that has always made me love this author's books is that he doesn't waste time and space on useless descriptions...just writes a superb and intriguing story. The reader has no problem visualizing his settings. This one had some surprises...lots of suspense and just a touch of the paranormal. Stephen King and Dean Koontz fans should give this author a try.
