Reckoning at Harts Pass
    International Thriller for the Modern Age Reckoning at Harts Passis a rollicking fun read. The fast-paced and very timely thriller tracks an international terrorist plot to bring a dirty bomb into the United States through the not-so-secure western U.S.-Canadian border. Timing and circumstance lead to recently-retired FBI agent Luke Chamberlin having to push aside his bitterness toward the Agency and foil the plot - all while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Elizabeth Macalaster has written an exciting book that is a true page-turner.   Portland Book ReviewIn the author's debut thriller, a former FBI agent and counterterrorism specialist receives intel about a dirty bombmaking its way to the United States. Disillusioned Luke Chamberlin was made a scapegoat in his last FBI case. Now retired, he's clearing his head with a five-month hike when an old Russian contact sends him a message about a possible terrorist attack. Macalaster delivers a refreshingly uncomplicated thriller plot, providing a nice contrast to her complex characters. A fine thriller elevated by its well-developed, believable characters. ---Kirkus Reviews
