Private investigator Blake Franklin is building something real. His agency is growing, new investigators are joining the team, and the cases are getting bigger.
When a desperate couple hires Blake to find their missing son, the investigation leads into the secretive world of survivalists and doomsday preppers, groups investing everything in underground shelters built for the end of the world. But before Blake can find answers, one of the movement's powerful leaders is murdered.
Suddenly the missing-person case becomes something far more dangerous.
As threats close in and attempts are made on the lives of the remaining leaders, Blake shifts from investigator to protector, racing to stop a killer determined to finish what he started. The deeper Blake digs, the clearer it becomes that paranoia, power, and greed make a deadly combination, and nowhere is truly safe, not even underground.
For the first time, the danger turns personal. Beaten and seriously wounded, Blake is forced to confront both his own limits and the strained relationship with the father he's spent years avoiding. With his team tested and lives on the line, Blake must decide how much he's willing to risk to bring the truth into the light.
Three to Get Ready is the third Blake Franklin mystery, a clean, fast-paced thriller that raises the stakes with bigger action, deeper emotion, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
