The thriller genre has been blessed with a wealth of new talent in recent years and Connor Sullivan is poised to be the breakout star of 2021 with his roaring debut Sleeping Bear.
The siren song of the Alaskan wilderness has caused many to pull up stakes and head to the great north in order to take stock and reshape their lives. Army veteran Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Gale is no exception. Where she does stand out from the majority of other adventurous souls headed towards the Arctic circle is her mental fortitude, fighting ability, and intellectual prowess. All attributes she honed; first under her father’s tutelage in Montana, then at Ranger School.
When Jim Gale receives a phone call stating his daughter failed to show up in Anchorage as planned, he immediately heads out to find her. His list of potential dangers to his daughter included the usual; dehydration, hypothermia, and the potential of a bear attack. When he arrives at Cassie’s abandoned campsite near the Yukon border the threats multiply and in order to track her down, he must draw on the skills he acquired when he was a different man...in a different life.
Across the Bering Sea, Cassie finds herself in a sadistic prison experiment being used as a pawn in an unseen battle between one of the most powerful men in Russia and the man who killed his son.
Sleeping Bear is tremendously written with characters that immediately draw you in. Pacing that propels readers from one chapter to the next, the right amount of suspense and intrigue, and scenarios that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up… this is the type of novel that checks all the boxes and should be on the reading list for every thriller fan.
