Shake the Jar
A savage bayonet charge. A flash of musket fire.
The soldier fell dead, his face shattered. Arin Murphy stood frozen-an unwilling witness to an 1814 battlefield, reliving a violent moment from her family's past. The man who pulled the trigger? Her ancestor.
To discover who he is and where her slave descendant family came from, she follows his clues from Jamaica to Chile and the Golden Triangle in Thailand.
As the world teeters on the brink of catastrophe, Moscow's invasion of Ukraine threatens to unleash chaos. China stands poised to invade Taiwan, a geopolitical gambit that would plunge Washington into disarray. But deep in Southeast Asia, an even darker conspiracy unfolds. A covert strike is in motion, orchestrated from the very heart of the Golden Triangle.
Key and Arin Murphy entered the most lawless place in Southeast Asia, the center of drug and human trafficking.
With both of their lives on the line, Key faces an impossible choice.
To save millions, he may have to risk everything. The countdown to global chaos has begun...
Editorial ReviewsO'Connor interlaces power, reincarnation, and redemption in this globetrotting mystery.... excels with vivid descriptions of international locales-Chile's "kaleidoscopes of color and culture," Thailand's "elaborate temples, gated communities, and military bases"-that transport readers directly into the story's sweeping action.
Book Life by Publishers Weekly
Readers who enjoy character-driven thrillers with a blend of historical depth and modern stakes-like Daniel Silva meets Kate Quinn-will find this book compelling. It's a story about power, heritage, and the choices we make when the past just won't let go.
Alija Turkovic - 5 Star Review for Readers Favorite
A sharp and expertly done espionage thriller fueled by the past lives of the main characters.
His exotic locations are rendered with color and fidelity, his characters dramatically seize every moment they're given, and, most importantly, the book's pacing and dialogue make it a genuine page-turner.
