"An electrifying thriller with action that keeps you on the edge of your seat!" --Lisa Jackson, New York Times bestselling author

Jake Dent's dreams of baseball glory fell apart in a drunk-driving incident, along with his marriage. But a popular survivalist blog helped restore his sense of control. Now Jake is an avid Doomsday Prepper, raising his diabetic son, Andy, to be ready for anything. But Andy has a secret even his father never saw coming.

"Fans of Harlan Coben or Linwood Barclay will especially enjoy this one." --Booklist

A student at the prestigious Pepperell Academy where Jake works as a custodian, Andy is part of a computer club that redistributes money from the obscenely wealthy to the needy. But this time, they've stolen from the wrong people: a vicious drug cartel that is coming to get its money back.

"Extraordinary character development and more than a few bombshell plot twists will keep readers turning the pages." –Publishers Weekly

Staging a distraction, the cartel infiltrates the Academy, taking Andy and his friends hostage one by one. But hidden inside the school's tunnels is Jake, with his stockpile of weapons and supplies. He knows that soon the killing will start, and his training will be put to the ultimate test. Because in the brutal, lawless struggle that is about to ensue, he's the last best chance these students--including his son--have of getting out alive.

"Unrelentingly suspenseful." --Publishers Weekly on Stolen

"Warning: once you start reading this novel, you will not stop!" --Lisa Gardner on Helpless

"Not just a great thriller debut, but a great thriller, period." --Lee Child on Delirious

Review:

“This nail-biting tale is sure to get hearts pumping and bound to be a winner with fans of Greg Iles and Iris Johansen. The author is the son of deceased best-selling medical thriller author Michael Palmer, but he doesn’t need to ride on his father’s coattails. His suspenseful stories, full of twists and turns, are sure to win him a following of his own.” – Library Journal STARRED REVIEW for CONSTANT FEAR

“Palmer takes a straightforward kidnapping story and turns it into a compelling tale filled with not-so-typical heroes. Setting the action in a high school is risky, but Palmer pulls it off. Fans of Harlan Coben or Linwood Barclay will especially enjoy this one.”– Booklist on CONSTANT FEAR

“Extraordinary character development and more than a few bombshell plot twists will keep readers turning the pages.” – Publishers Weekly on CONSTANT FEAR

“Palmer examines the steps parents will take to ensure the security of their kids in his latest thriller. He gives a familiar story a fresh spin with compelling characters and a protagonist who usually would be portrayed as the villain. Readers will care about everyone, and grimace and sweat with every tense scene. Palmer’s thrillers involving family dynamics are terrific, and this one is no exception .”– RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars for CONSTANT FEAR
