RECKONING: THE FIRST STRIKE
Book One in the Come Join the Circle Series
What happens when the law fails and justice falls silent?
Reckoning: The First Strike is a gripping crime thriller, feminist thriller, and vigilante justice story about a secret network of women who refuse to let predators hide behind power, wealth, and influence.
In the shadows of El Paso and Ciudad Ju rez, trauma nurse Beatrice Gomez witnesses the human cost of violence every day. Victims arrive in the emergency room broken by human trafficking, cartel brutality, and a system that rarely protects the vulnerable. Saving lives is her job. But watching the guilty walk free is slowly destroying her.
Across the country, a quiet network is forming.
Led by the enigmatic Claire Alcott, a group of highly skilled women has created an underground organization known only as The Circle. Their mission is simple: when powerful men exploit women and children and escape justice, the Circle ensures they never harm anyone again.
Their methods are patient, precise, and invisible.
When Beatrice is drawn into their world, she must confront a question that will change everything she believes about justice:
How far would you go to stop evil when the system refuses to act?
As the Circle begins its first coordinated strike against traffickers, cartel leaders, and men who profit from suffering, they ignite a chain reaction that reaches far beyond the border.
Watching from the shadows is a far more dangerous predator.
A global criminal mastermind whose empire thrives on corruption, human trafficking, and political influence has begun to notice the disruption.
And he intends to find out who is responsible.
Perfect for readers of Don Winslow, Karin Slaughter, and Stieg Larsson, Reckoning: The First Strike delivers a powerful blend of suspense, crime fiction, international thriller, and female-driven justice.
This explosive first installment introduces a world where women fight back, the powerful are no longer untouchable, and justice is taken into their own hands.
When the system fails, the reckoning begins.
