Thirteen vehicles. Electrified highway. One SAR team.
A baby is crying over the emergency radio. Cal Walker can hear it through the static — sharp, desperate, fading. An ice storm has brought down high-tension power lines across Highway 12, trapping thirteen vehicles in an electrified death zone. The lines arc and spark across the road, turning every car into a potential conductor. Nobody can get in. Nobody can get out.
Cal wades through the drought-shallow river using a rusted shopping cart as an insulator, navigating under lines that hum with lethal current. He reaches a crushed sedan. Inside: a woman shielding her child. The power company could de-energize the grid with one phone call. They won't. But why?
HIGH VOLTAGE is the ninth book in the Black Mountain Series — where the enemy wears a corporate logo.
Genre: Mystery
