Ok, fair warning. If you pick this book up, do not plan on putting it down, unless like me, life things still had to happen.

“Black Sun Rising” is an edge of your seat thriller and if you are at all familiar with DC, it is so easy to picture the areas referenced so easily. I was so intrigued with the main character, Marco Zorn, as soon as he was introduced. A homicide cop in DC that doesn’t carry a gun? There is definitely a story there.

I believe this is the 3rd book featuring the main character, but I know that at least this one can be read as a standalone novel.

With everything going on in today’s world, it makes Mr. Zorn’s story, as amazing as it is, seem like something similar could happen.

The summary of the book tells you what the book is about. The book on the other hand, if you are anything like me, will leave you with some unanswered questions and slightly afraid of what the answers might be.

This is a quick read and I throughly enjoyed it. I would like to thank Kendall Farris at Meryl Moss Media Group for an advanced reader’s copy. As always, all opinions are my own. Happy reading!

WOW ~ Another spine chilling, perfectly,crafted adventure that, by the time
we’re closing in on the wrap-up, has shown again, the peculiarities of the
enigma, Marko Zorn. An Officer who refuses to carry a weapon, and almost
never fires at suspects, is a major headache to the Command Stagg, but is so
bloody valuable,everyone, up as,high as we find ourselves in the powee structure
have to deal with the guy~WHY~ he is a flipping genius/complete odd ball!
Black Sun is world ending stuff, and Marko, aided by his new [and excellent,]
if not ‘rookie raw,’ are going to have to trust each other when it comes to
their eccentricities and different approaches to solving complex cases.
There are too many people who just cannot stand Marko, and for good
reason, however, he’s known for getting things figured out. His new
partner was displaying some detective talents, but sadly, she was
murdered during the fiasco..
I am a huge fan of this series, and this installment, particularly. It’s
clear the Author’s real,world experience has helped him craft/create
the perfect backdrop for,this book. While part of a series, this is,perfect
as a standalone.. this book is perfect for thriller and suspense readers
who enjoy figuring out the stories as they read along. with the main
characters.
My thanks to Meridian Editions via NetGalley for the download copy

Terrifyingly realistic and so timely! This book resonated with me due to our current political culture in the US and the rise of white supremacy. Marko Zorn is a homicide detective in DC and has stumbled on a plot to cripple the US. The deadly poison Zyklon could devastate the US if it is released into the atmosphere. Marko must infiltrate the Black Sun and take down two diabolical men intent on destroying the country in search of power.
This was a taut thriller, and while it is the 4th thriller in the series, you could read this as a standalone. I was completely shocked by one of the events in the book! The book moves quickly - I read it in one sitting!

Review of eBook

The explosion of a bomb outside Friendship House sets a nefarious plan in motion. Detective Marko Zorn, and his partner, Latasha Powell, head to the scene where, while investigating, Marko is attacked. Shortly thereafter, Latasha is murdered, leaving Marko to head off a nightmarish event: the resurgence of a Nazi-era weapon to be used against the American people during the Inauguration Day festivities.

Can Marko stop the attack? And what will be the cost?

=========

Although there are four other books in the author’s Marko Zorn series, this story works well as a standalone. From the outset, this unfolding narrative will keep readers on the edge of their seats, turning pages as fast as possible. Well-developed characters, a strong sense of place, and a gut-wrenching, sinister plot pull readers into the telling of this tale from the outset. Astute readers may identify a significant plot twist early on [there is a clue or two], but this does not detract from the story being told.

An atmosphere of impending doom permeates the pages of the story, keeping readers on edge as tension and suspense keep them guessing. Politics, power plays, and terrifying realism all have a part in the evolving narrative; readers who enjoy political thrillers as well as Marko Zorn fans, will find much to appreciate here in this taut thriller that races toward a somewhat-unexpected denouement. Be prepared, however, for some unanswered questions.

Highly recommended.

I received an ARC through "NetGalley" and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This is the 4th book in the series and I am not disappointed. The story begins with Marko and Latasha, his partner' at the station when they feel a bomb blast. Soon it is all-hands on deck as the respond to the location, Friendship House, which was a sanctuary for the poor and desperate. While on the scene, Marko walks around looking for someone that might have been involved. Spotting a person, he goes to arrest him, but someone hits him in the head. The suspect escapes, but Marko remembers him telling him about the Black Sun.

As Latasha and Marko investigate, they learn about a Nazi organization. Marko has also gotten involved with three other partiers asking him to find who is the Black Sun. As their search continued, Marko was attacked and he started having someone watch his back. After a meeting with someone regarding Nazi history, Marko went one way while Latasha went to interview someone else. Unfortunately, Latasha was killed along with another police officer who was with her.

It was decided that Marko would go undercover and join the Nazi organization. The Police Chief and an FBI identified Marko as being a wanted man which would allow him to join. The reason they needed Marko to do this, is because the date for the Presidential inauguration was getting close.

Read along and see what Marko had to endure through his training and how the group was going to kill the President. Discover who the Black Sun was and it all worked out in the end.

This is definitely a book well worth reading!
