Castle Danger

by Chris Norbury

Overview

Red-hot suspense erupts in an ice-cold location when chance brings two desperate fugitives together in this award-winning thriller.

Matt Lanier is running from both the law and the man who framed him for a murder he didn't commit. Allyson Clifford is running from her criminal, sadistic husband, Donnie Vossler, who wants to steal their son and teach him to live "just like Dad." When Allyson saves Matt from freezing to death on the doorstep of her restaurant in remote Castle Danger, MN, their lives are changed forever.

Romantic sparks between Matt and Allyson prevent him from betraying her after Vossler shows up and sets his evil plan in motion. As a hitman closes in on Matt, he must decide between self-preservation or saving Allyson and her son. Cut off from all help because of a blizzard, and racing the clock, can Matt save anyone, including himself?

About the Author

Chris Norbury is the un-gainfully employed, non-best-selling author of four novels. Each book has earned various book awards most people have never heard about and probably won't remember, anyway. His Matt Lanier thriller series stars a musician hero who stumbles upon a violent, powerful conspiracy that ruins his life and nearly kills him because he's too brilliantly stubborn to let the bad guys win.

His newest book, Little Mountain, Big Trouble, is a middle-grade adventure novel inspired by his experiences as a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters for twenty years.

Chris grew up in the Twin Cities where he earned a B.S. in Music Education from the University of Minnesota. He's had careers as a public-school band director, financial planner, wine consultant, and day trader before taking up the challenge of being an author. He belongs to the Twin Cities and national chapters of Sisters in Crime and the Alliance of Independent Authors.

He lives in southern Minnesota with his wife, Sandra. For bizarre reasons even he can't understand, he's a lifelong golf addict. Another passion is canoeing in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. He's taken dozens of canoe trips there, plus several other river trips over the decades. Many have been solo adventures.

After publishing his first book in 2016, Chris began donating a portion of all his book sales to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern MN.

Editorial Reviews

You have a strong opening that attracts the reader. You have incredible pacing. ... I was most impressed with the setting. ... you made the setting be a character in the novel, which is what the best genre authors do. I'm thinking of Chandler and LA and Connelly and LA (as well.) I was reminded of the works of William Kent Krueger, and that's a compliment indeed. — Judge, 25th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards
