This is the 2nd book is the Markus Novak series. The ending leaves off setting up for a third book in the series. There were lots of twists and action throughout which kept the pages turning. Rise the dark. These were the last words written in Lauren Novak's notebook before she was murdered in a strange Florida village. They've never meant anything to the police or to her husband, investigator Markus Novak. Now the man he believes killed her is out of prison, and draws Markus to the place he's avoided for so long: the lonely road where his wife was shot to death beneath the cypress trees and Spanish moss in a town called Cassadaga. The author did a lot a research about electricity which plays a part in the novel. There was lots of dry humor which I enjoyed and some touch of paranormal which made the story interesting. As the spring's final snowstorm calls Jay deeper into the mountains, chasing the destruction on the electrical grid, Sabrina is abducted by Garland Webb, the man Markus Novak believes killed his wife. Drawing them all together is a messianic villain who understands that you can never outpace your past. You can only rise against the future. Looking for more explanation in the next book.
