  Our Duty is to be Ready...
   
   
   
  The eclectic band of friends and strangers grows. The chasm between what is legal and what is right continues to expand in proportion to the decline of civility. And Phil’s heart is broken from tragic loss...
   
   
   
  Even in the fresh pain of the recent events, he learns an old friend has fallen to the actions of a decaying society. Fueled by both compassion and over-confidence, Phil ventures into the greater Slaughter County area for answers—why are those he cares about perishing? To what end? Who does he have to make pay?
   
   
   
  In the shadows of the disasters, two new threats grow. One, almost a cliché, as a local emergency manager stretches the boundaries of her power. The other, almost too hard to believe, as a ruthless cartel organizes in the background. And across the Puget Sound, like-minded, good-hearted Americans of every background are forming up to protect their communities.
   
   
   
  Will Phil clear his head before his drastic actions get himself or others hurt? Who will step up and remind those who would grab power in not to push the folks who just want to be left alone?
   
   
   
  Order Divested is the action-packed, explosive, second book in the Cascadia Fallen trilogy.

  'The signs are unmistakable. The dog halts, his nose up – nostrils quivering. Every inch of him is poised. Moss has a scent.’ 
   
  When a hand is found in Gallows Wood, PC Lucy Halliday and her specialist search dog Moss must find the rest of the body. What they uncover is a killer’s dumping ground. Like every case since her husband’s mysterious disappearance, Lucy wonders if this one will bring her closer to the truth. Nico was a journalist with a reputation for getting buried in his work; Lucy is certain that this time he delved too deep. 
   
  With new DI Jack Ellis calling the shots, Lucy struggles to keep her professionalism intact. She can’t stay away from these murders – and a killer who may hold the answers she desperately wants. But with those at the very heart of the investigation withholding secrets of their own, can more brutal deaths be prevented?
