Synopsis
"Lisa Brackmann pulls no punches. Black Swan Rising is full throttle from the very first sentence. A mass-shooting, cyber-stalking, racism, misogyny, and political deceit: It all comes together in an urgent story that vibrates with suspense. Pulse-pounding and thought-provoking, Black Swan Rising is a smart thriller that captures the heat of our country's moral and civic battles."--Kim Fay, author of The Map of Lost Memories, an Edgar Award Finalist for Best First Novel
"In Black Swan Rising Lisa Brackmann has written an important book that looks at where our currently divided political climate could take us, and where it already has. Add in a new 'revolution' among disaffected white men, and you've got all the elements of a ripping thriller. A must read."--Catherine McKenzie, bestselling author of Fractured and The Good Liar
"Black Swan is as devious as it is elegant. A raw and masterful mystery thriller that explores the real darkness of the human soul. Brava "--Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Glimpse
