In his gripping debut novel, Just a Shot Away, Leigh Stroh weaves an intricate, character-rich, fast-paced story with the complexity of a spider’s web—and just as ensnaring. From the deceivingly simple opening scene—a man in a big car, a heavy suitcase, two people approaching—the first characters are introduced, and we begin guessing who is on which side and why. Prepare to be wrong—and delightfully surprised. Stroh turns plot twists into a master class in deception as he portrays the corruptive power of unchecked authority and the heroic decency of those who stand for truth. This political thriller does not disappoint and beats with a heart that calls us all to be better than the sum of our fears.
