Three people, each at their own breaking point, collide. The resulting impact will forever change their lives ... if they can manage to survive it.Declan Enright, a former police officer recently fired over a controversial shooting, has reached a breaking point in his life. Confronted with insurmountable financial burdens in the wake of his termination, Declan makes a desperate move to stabilize his situation for the benefit of his wife and three young daughters. Tapping into his ingrained skill set, forged during his time as an operator in the Navy's most elite special operations unit, Declan crosses over the line of right and wrong, discovering that nothing is black and white. All while maintaining the balance of family and the needs of his non-communicative, three-year old autistic daughter, Laney. Nicholas Lawrence, an accomplished investigator with the FBI, voluntarily takes a reassignment from his human trafficking unit in Austin, Texas. His transfer brings him to the bank robbery unit based out of Connecticut's New Haven field office. Nick's decision to relocate, stemming from the recent death of his father, is done in effort to care for his aging mother suffering from the onset of dementia. The burden of this decision is only slightly alleviated by the support of his partner, Isabella Martinez.Khaled, a man who suffered an unimaginable loss several years back, makes the decision to leave his small village set in the foothills of Iraq's Cheekha Dar Mountain. He has traveled to the United States in the hope of seeking closure to the event that haunts his daily existence. Khaled's concept of closure is wrought with devastating consequences, plunging the country into a state of fear. The best chance at thwarting this threat rests in the unlikely alliance formed between Declan, Nick, and Isabella.… (altro)

Interesting, but started so slow. ( )

I loved, respected and rooted for the two main characters. If you are a reader that demands that the line between right and wrong remain clear and defined, you may have some minor problems with this one. If you can see that sometimes the situation begs the line to be slightly blurred... then read on. You can tell that the author has had law enforcement experience or else was very close with someone that had, almost from the start of the book. My retired cop says it was "right on". Whatever the experience...it has obviously aided him in writing a believable police procedural with outstanding, and true situations and encounters between the suspects and the police. I don't think there are enough adjectives to describe this story, so I'll just choose "Fantastic". It's a sensational story in every possible way. Opps...another adjective. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Camel's Back and thought it appropriate for our time. The story hooked me right from the beginning and held on tightly until the end. What I didn't realize until sitting down to type this review is that the main protagonist for this story is Nick Lawrence and not Declan Enright...there was hardly any background or character building for Nick and his female FBI partner, Izzy; the dilemma was Enright's to solve and eliminate. The terrorist was in the US wreaking havoc and killing Americans because of Enright and his team's involvement years earlier in Iraq.

I also found the story rife with typos and sentences that were incomplete and suggest that the author invests in an editor to give it a once over - it will make a difference.

Otherwise, it kept me interested and in suspense! I would recommend this action/suspense story to others who enjoy this kind of reading. The ending will surprise readers and although there are more books in the series, this is a complete tale without any cliffhangers at the end. Nice job, Mr. Shea. ( )
